Duty forecaster: Matthew Hugo


Generally rather unsettled and wet across more western areas of Europe, drier and warmer through central and eastern areas in particular


Saturday
Into Saturday and high pressure will remain a dominant feature across more central and eastern areas of Europe, maintaining relatively warm and settled conditions across much of Germany and eastwards into Poland by this time too. Equally, the high pressure will also build up into parts of Scandinavia bringing much improved weather here after previous unsettled conditions at the end of the working week. Equally, it will also produce a very mild S'ly wind into more southern areas of Norway, Sweden and Finland with some of the highest temperatures of the spring likely to develop here through the day. With the exception of a few scattered downpours much of the Med will be dry and warm with sunny spells, especially across Italy and surrounding areas. However, parts of France and Iberia will remain rather unsettled and cooler with some further showers or perhaps longer spells of rain at times.


Sunday
During Sunday and it is low pressure and unsettled weather that will continue to dominate across many western areas of Europe. Rain or showers are forecast across parts of the British Isles, down into France, especially western France where some heavy rain is possible, perhaps with thunderstorms too. Cool and showery weather is forecast across much of Spain and Portugal, perhaps with longer spells of rain in Portugal as well as the day progresses. Many central and particularly eastern areas of Europe will maintain warmer and more settled conditions in association with high pressure. Italy and many central and eastern areas of Med, including Turkey and Greece will be mainly dry with some warm spells of sunshine, but a few inland afternoon showers are possible. Fine weather extends northwards across Slovakia and up towards Poland and surrounding countries, some very pleasant weather is predicted here through Sunday afternoon. Unsettled but rather mild weather is forecast across Scandinavia however, but with cold and wintry conditions lingering across northern areas of Sweden, Finland and Norway.
