Well-scattered showers in north and east Spain, the rest of Iberia dry and fine. Afternoon showers in upland areas of Sardinia, Corsica, and Italy, the showers most extensive towards the Alps. Coastal showers forming in the Balkans as well, with showers more extensive in Albania, these extending into western Greece; most upland areas in southeast Europe are likely to see showers. East Greece and Türkiye are fine, warm, and sunny.
More showers for south and east France, dry and sunny to the west. This area of showers extends across the Alps through Switzerland and Austria, into south Germany, Czechia, Slovakia, and south Poland. Showers will locally cluster into extended thundery downpours. Only scattered showers in north Germany, with drier conditions in the Low Countries. Some showers in Romania and Bulgaria too but plenty of sunshine away from the showers.
Some cloud over Denmark but largely dry. Windy in north Scandinavia. Patchy rain across many parts of Norway, a few patches drifting into Sweden with time; southern Sweden stays dry and fine. Some early rain in Finland clears northward for a sunny afternoon. Windy across northern Scandinavia. Some rain in the far east of the Baltic States, otherwise dry with sunshine.


Wednesday
Mostly dry again through Spain and Portugal, though the odd isolated shower cannot be completely ruled out. Dry and sunny across the Balearics into Corsica and Sardinavia as well as Sicily. Scattered showers across central mainland Italy with most again towards the Alpine region. Western Greece will see some thundery showers but the islands look to remain dry and fine.
France sees some showers towards the far east but elsewhere here will be dry with plenty of sun. Dry and fine with sunny spells across the Netherlands. Mostly dry across Germany though the south and east will see more cloud and developing showers. Switzerland and Austria will see sunny spells and showers, some of these heavy and thundery. Unsettled with heavy downpours down the Balkan States and across eastern Europe.
Rather cloudy with some patchy rain through Denmark though conditions do look to improve here through the day. Cloud with outbreaks of rain across southern areas of Sweden and Norway. Sunny spells but also a few scattered, mostly light, showers further north. Scattered showers affecting particularly the north and far south of Finland, while staying largely dry centrally. Some rain through the Baltic States, this heavy in the morning.
