Saturday
Largely dry across Spain and Portugal though cloud and some rain will push on to coastal regions of northwest Spain and Portugal with winds strengthening. Dry with sunshine across the Balearics, much of Italy, Greece and Turkey though the odd shower cannot be completely ruled out.
Windy though dry today across France. Some rain affecting the coasts of the Netherlands, Germany and Poland, otherwise dry here though windy. Dry with sunny spells through the rest of eastern Europe. Particularly windy over the higher ground through Austria and Switzerland though it should be mainly dry here.
Rain pushing across Denmark with blustery winds. Largely dry throughout Sweden though rain moving in to the far south here later as well as Norway. Very windy further north. Windy and wet with rain, sleet and snow to Finland. Rain moving north through the Baltic States with a blustery wind.

Heavy rain moving east across Portugal into western Spain, staying dry further east and across the Balearics. The odd shower again across northern Italy but elsewhere across the Mediterranean is dry and fine.
Rain turning heavy across northern France into Belgium later. The rest of France looks to be dry though breezy. Windy yet dry through Germany and the Netherlands. Some showery rain along Poland's coasts, otherwise dry here. Windy though dry also throughout the Alpine areas and eastern Europe.
Denmark is mostly dry though with some showery rain affecting the far northwest. Largely dry though windy across Norway and Sweden though southern areas seeing some rain. Outbreaks of rain pushing through the Baltic States. Mostly dry across Finland.
