An area of showery rain moves east across central Europe, including the south of Scandinavia. A few scattered showers elsewhere, but most places are dry with sunny spells, more widespread sun in southern Europe.

Sunday
Extensive sunshine in Iberia and across the western Mediterranean islands, possibly an odd shower in Sardinia. Southern Italy will see spells of rain, dry in central and north areas with sunshine. Scattered showers in Albania, mainland Greece, and west Türkiye, otherwise dry with plenty of sun. Some cloudier windows in the northern Balkan States, small chance of an odd shower in Croatia.
Very warm in south and west France with sun; the far north of France will see several spells of heavy rain. This area of rain will pass through the Low Countries and into Germany, some local heavy falls, spreading into Czechia and west Poland with time. A few scattered showers will reach Slovakia. Hungary stays dry with sunny spells, as does east Poland. Some scattered thundery rain in Romania, some broader areas of rain towards the Black Sea, elsewhere dry with sun spells.
Early showery rain in Denmark and south Sweden will fade with time as a westerly wind blows the showers towards the Baltic States, generally around the Baltic coasts. Mild temperatures in southern Scandinavia for mid-September. Some rain in Finland, tending to isolate north and sun increasingly breaking out. Strong wind across northern Scandinavia, particularly northwest Norway where showers will be frequent. Early rain in north Sweden, this clearing for mostly sunny skies.

Monday
More sun over Iberia and the western Mediterranean, another shower possible in southern Sardinia. A few afternoon showers more widely across Italy, but staying scattered except in the far south. A few scattered showers in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, dry with a mix of cloud and sun for the rest of the Balkan States. A few showers in south Greece as well as Türkiye coasts, but elsewhere dry in the southeast and often sunny.
Cloud with scattered showers in north France, dry and sunny elsewhere: very warm, hot in the south. Quite warm in the Low Countries too with patchy rain, this rain extending across central and south Germany; north Germany is dry with sun spells. Fine with a few showers in eastern Switzerland. Showery rain across much of Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary. A few showers in eastern Romania and Bulgaria, dry to the west with a mix of cloud and sun.
Generally dry but cloudy in Denmark. Scattered showers in central and south Sweden, fairly cloudy here too. Showers in the Baltic States will gradually fade for bright spells later. Finland is fine and mostly sunny. Norway is more often cloudy, but generally dry with some bright spells too.
