   Hot and dry Mediterranean; low pressure into the North Sea facilitates
   strong winds and rain into Scandinavia, some unsettled weather east as
   well.

   Monday
   Hot and sunny in Spain and Portugal through Monday, some cloud in the
   north. Similarly hot with well-broken cloud through the central
   Mediterranean. Morning cloud in north Italy will tend to break through
   the day, some thundery showers in central Italy tending to slip south
   with sun spells. Rain for most Balkan States southeast of Croatia with
   local thunder. Mostly sunny and fine for Greece and T├╝rkiye, some
   showers here and there in south T├╝rkiye.
   France will have a fair day, some cloud in the morning but tending to
   break; warm to hot in the south. Showery rain in the Low Countries,
   increasingly extensive later, and the same rain band affecting northern
   Germany late in the day. Increasingly windy along north coasts here.
   Northern and eastern Poland should be dry with good spells of sunshine.
   Austria and Czechia as well as Switzerland will have some shows,
   substantial cloud for a time. A band of heavy showers stretches
   north-to-south from west Belarus to west Romania. Drier and very warm
   along the Black Sea and near-inland areas.
   Denmark will be generally fair with sunny spells, increasingly cloudy
   and windy here and in Norway. Rain with thundery bursts affects the
   Baltic States and west Finland; the remainder of Finland should be dry
   and quite warm. Showers in much of Sweden and Norway, with a wide area
   of rain arriving across southern areas later in the day.

   Tuesday
   Fine and very warm for Iberia and the Mediterranean islands. Similarly
   fine in Italy, only a few showers in far southern areas. Fair for the
   northern Balkan states, some showers forming in southern areas, notably
   Albania and North Macedonia, locally thundery. Showery in western
   Greece too, drier and sunny over the Aegean. Fine too in T├╝rkiye, a few
   scattered showers near the coast.
   Mostly sunny in France, some rain in the east. This rain stretching
   into central Germand and west Poland, tending to move east through the
   day; rain may be heavy for a time in Poland. West Germany and the Low
   Countries will see plenty of sun, some showery rain onto northern
   areas, notably The Netherlands. Rain setting in over the Swiss and
   Austrian Alps later. Showery outbreaks with local thunder in Romania,
   but mostly dry and fine elsewhere in eastern Europe.
   Very strong winds in southern Scandinavia, risk gale force in Denmark,
   southern Sweden's west coast, and west Norway. Regular showers across
   Denmark, broad areas of rain with locally heavy spots for most of
   Sweden and Norway. Rain too in Finland, tending to drift north.
   Occasional sun spells will break out between rainy periods. Rain on and
   off too in the Baltic States.
