   A settling trend for many, though locally unsettled in the southwest,
   more unsettled in the far north.

   Wednesday
   Heavy showers developing across northern and central Spain, drifting
   east. Drier for southern areas of Spain and Portugal too where there
   will be sunny spells. Scattered showers may develop in the Balearics
   later in the day. Dry and sunny for Corsica and Sardinia. Fair for
   Italy with some morning light showers in the south; otherwise sunny
   well into the day, cloud building in the north later. Some scattered
   showers in the Balkans, these clearing for frequent sunshine. Scattered
   showers again in Greece but similarly clearing for sunny spells. Heavy
   showers and unsettled for T├╝rkiye.
   Mixed cloud and sun for France but likely dry. The Low Countries will
   also have some cloud and sunny spells, patchy rain arriving midday as
   well as in central and northern areas of Germany. A broader area of
   rain in western Poland slowly slips east through the day. The south of
   Germany, Switzerland, and Austria will be brighter. Hungary and
   Slovakia similarly bright and dry. Rain for east Romania and most of
   Bulgaria, at times quite heavy.
   Patchy morning rain and cloud in Denmark with sunny spells increasing
   afternoon. Frequent showers drift onto Norway's west coast,
   increasingly wet in the north later. Cloud and some patchy morning rain
   for Sweden, this passing east for good sunny spells. This rain slips
   east into Finland, soon widely rainy across the country. A bright
   morning for the Baltic States, but this band of rain beginning to
   effect western areas later in the day.

   Thursday
   Showery with a risk of thunderstorms in southeast Spain. Showers more
   scattered elsewhere in Spain, dry and sunny for Portugal. Showers for
   the Balearics, also with a risk of thunderstorms. Similarly showers
   with heavy bursts for Sardinia and Corsica. Fine for Italy, a few
   showers in the mountainous north. Some showers too in Slovenia and
   Croatia, the rest of the Balkans fine and dry with plenty of sunshine,
   this extending south into Greece. Some morning showers in T├╝rkiye,
   these moving east for an improving, fine day.
   Some local light rain in central France, otherwise dry with sunny
   spells. This chance of rain extends across the Alps and southern
   Germany, Czechia, and into Poland. Further north near the coasts, drier
   but mostly cloudy. Some scattered rain in Slovakia and Hungary, drier
   further east in Romania and Bulgaria with sun spells increasing through
   the day.
   A day of patchy rain in Denmark, southern Sweden, and the Baltic States
   but with dry and sunny spells mixed in. Finland mostly dry with sunny
   spells as well, just some morning rain in the east. Frequently raining
   on Norway's west coasts with heavy bursts and a strong westerly wind,
   best of dry and sunny spells in the southeast. A band of rain will pass
   east across central and north Sweden, but sunny spells will follow in
   the later afternoon.
