   Rain and showers isolating to eastern Europe and Scandinavia, fine and
   often sunny central and west Europe.

   Tuesday
   Fine and very warm for Spain and Portugal, some cloud around. Dry and
   sunny for the Balearic Islands as well as Sardinia and Corsica.
   Similarly fine in Italy, only a few afternoon 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.
   A band of rain in northern France slips to the east through the day;
   otherwise fine and sunny, quite warm in the south. This rain stretching
   into central Germany and west Poland, tending to move east through the
   day; rain may be heavy for a time in Poland and Czechia. West Germany
   and the Low Countries will see plenty of sun, some showery rain onto
   northern coasts later in the day. Mostly sunny in Switzerland and
   Austria, but showery rain sets in later in the day. Showery outbreaks
   with local thunder in western parts of Romania and Bulgaria, but mostly
   dry and fine elsewhere in eastern Europe.
   Very strong winds in southern Scandinavia, risk gale force in north
   Denmark, southern Sweden's west coast, and west Norway. Regular showers
   across Denmark and onto southwest Sweden, broad areas of rain with
   locally heavy spots for most of Sweden and Norway. East Sweden has the
   greatest chance of dry and sunny periods. Rain too in Finland, tending
   to drift north with increasing sun spells south. Rain on and off too in
   the Baltic States, becoming extensive and heavy in Lithuania late in
   the day.

   Wednesday
   Fine and hot from Iberia through the central Mediterranean. A sunny,
   hot day in Italy with only scattered showers in the mountainous north.
   A few local showers inland for the Balkan States, but otherwise often
   sunny and fine. Scattered showers and some cloud around in Greece and
   T├╝rkiye, some risk of a thundery bursts near the Black Sea.
   Dry for much of central and west Europe; a mix of cloud and sun from
   the Low Countries through Germany, possibly more extensive in France. A
   few local showers over the Alps. A little showery rain in north Poland,
   but fine and sunny southward into Hungary, a few odd showers around in
   the morning. These showers moving east, becoming fairly widespread
   across Romania and west Ukraine; some showers into Belarus as well.
   A strong westerly breeze persists through Denmark and southern Sweden -
   often showery here until later in the day when some sun spells will
   break out. Often showery in the Balkan States with plenty of sun
   between showers, again also fading late in the day. Showery rain fairly
   widespread across northern Scandinavia with decent sun spells between
   showers; again tending to fade late in the day, though some heavier
   showers will linger longer.
