    High pressure pushes active weather east and north

    Thursday
    Thursday starts fine and warm across Mediterranean Europe. Clouds will
    encroach on Portugal later in the day, Spain and the islands staying
    dry and sunny. Variable clouds will bring light showers to Italy's west
    coast and the Balkan coast. The Balkans will experience more consistent
    rain in the evening, some potentially heavy or even snowy at high
    inland areas.
    A weakening low at the Germany/Poland border will push east driving a
    band of rain southeastward across central Europe. This will drop snow
    on the Swiss and Austrian Alps. The low will push through Poland
    bringing rain and increased winds across the northern European plain
    and eastward into Belarus, Lithuania, and western Ukraine. Passing of
    the rain will bring brighter conditions and the possibility of
    extensive sunshine, particularly in northern France, western Germany,
    and the Low Countries.
    Southern Scandinavia will experience similar conditions. Morning rain
    in Denmark and southern Sweden will clear to the east, bringing
    intermittent sun and cold winds. Stronger winds will blow on the
    Norwegian coast producing rain in the south and snow in the north.

    Friday
    A mix of clouds and sun will dominate the Iberian peninsula with light
    showers on Portugal's west coast. A fine sunny day will prevail on the
    Beleric islands. A low will develop over the Adriatic sea driving
    stronger winds and rains along the coasts and across most of southern
    Italy, reaching Sardinia and Corsica. The rains will graze the Greek
    west coast, though inland likely to receive only patchy cloud. The rain
    will stretch northeast through Romania and migrate east bringing a
    period of light to moderate rain. Light showers, some wintery, will
    follow in the wake of this rain band, with sunny spells possible as
    well.
    Switzerland, Austria, northern Italy, and France will see a fine day
    with plentiful sun as high pressure sits atop Germany. Dry with sunny
    spells likely in Germany, western Poland, and the Baltics with a light
    breeze. More widespread cloud likely to prevail to the east and north.
    Winds increase across the UK and the North Sea into Scandinavia.
    Norway's coastal mountains will see snowfall through much of the day,
    while Sweden, Finland, and Denmark will see mostly cloudy skies with

    A mix of clouds and sun will dominate the Iberian peninsula with
    showers along Portugal's west coast into northwest Spain. A fine sunny
    day will prevail on the Beleric islands.
    Rainy and snowy remnants from Thursday's weak storm will push south
    from northern Croatia and Serbia to North Macedonia, western Bulgaria

    likely to receive only clouds. The rain will stretch northeast through
    Romania and migrate east bringing a period of light to moderate rain.

    Light showers, some wintery, may linger in southern Poland, Czechia,
    Slovakia, and Hungary. More widespread cloud likely to prevail to the

    Winds increase across the UK and the North Sea into Scandinavia. Expect
    showery rain on Britain's west coast, stronger in the north. Norway's
    coastal mountains will see snowfall through much of the day, while
    Sweden, Finland, and Denmark will see mostly cloudy skies with
    occasional light showers.

    Saturday
    A light southwesterly Atlantic breeze will maintain clouds over
    Portugal and western Spain, eastern Spain enjoying plentiful sunshine
    with scattered clouds. High pressure in eastern Europe will stretch
    sunny conditions through eastern France, Germany, and the Alps all the
    way to Poland, giving central Europe a fine, settled day. Though mostly
    cloudy, there will be potential for sunny spells further east in
    Ukraine, Belarus, and Lithuania, a blanket of clouds further north.
    The Balearics and Sardinia and Corsica will have a sunny day with
    scattered clouds. Further east, a low pressure system will park over
    the Adriatic Sea between southern Italy and Greece all day. Expect

    Europe forecast - November 30, 2024
    Continental sun migrates east
    Aegean remains unsettled

    Issued: 0430hrs Saturday 30th November 2024
    Duty forecaster: Dan Graves

    Sunshine migrates to the east bringing a crisp, fine days to much of
    central Europe. Showers to the south and north, heavy in the Aegean
    Sea.

    Saturday
    A light southwesterly Atlantic breeze will maintain clouds over
    Portugal and western Spain, with occasional showers in northern areas.
    Eastern Spain and the islands to the east will enjoy plentiful sunshine
    with scattered clouds. High pressure in eastern Europe will stretch
    sunny conditions through eastern France, Germany, and the Alps all the
    way to Poland, giving central Europe a fine, settled day. Though mostly
    cloudy, there will be potential for sunny spells further east in
    Ukraine, Belarus, and Lithuania. A blanket of clouds will rest further
    north.
    A low pressure system parks over southern Greece all day bringing
    strong winds and plentiful rain in southeast Italy, Greece, and the
    Aegean Sea, some quite heavy with thunder. Snow is likely to fall on
    upland regions from northern Greece through south Romania and Bosnia
    and Herzegovina. Gusty winds may blow along mountain tops as well and
    through valleys. Northward, Hungary and Slovakia will experience more
    settled conditions with sunbreaks.
    The British Isles and Scandinavia will see higher winds from the
    southwest and west, respectively, and mostly cloudy skies. Chance for
    intermittent sun along North Sea coastlines. Coasts and mountains
    facing the wind will see scattered showers throughout the day, with
    more continuous showers in Norway. Southern Sweden and Denmark mostly
    fine with occasional sunbreaks. A band of wintery showers and snow will
    push across central Sweden and southern Finland, lingering longer in
    Finland. Strong winds likely in the northern Baltics, particularly
    along the coasts.

    Sunday
    Sunny and settled weather in central Europe gradually migrates east
    throughout the day. Expect a chilled, mostly sunny day from eastern
    France through Romania and Ukraine. In the afternoon, prolonged sun
    will extend into Denmark, southern Sweden, and the Baltics. Pockets of
    more extensive cloud may form, but otherwise only scattered clouds.
    Clouds will be more extensive on the Iberian Peninsula. Moderate
    showers will form along Portugal's coast and in the Bay of Biscay. The
    islands between Spain and Italy will experience greater cloud coverage
    than days past but remain dry. Expect dry and mostly sunny conditions
    across Italy after some morning showers in the southeast move away.
    Low pressure continues to dominate over the Aegean Sea, facilitating
    heavy rains along the coasts with frequent showers and sun spells on
    nearby the islands. Rains and winds will decrease north of Greece,
    though clouds likely to remain over the Balkans. Afternoon sun will
    push southward through Hungary, northern Croatia and Albania. The high
    grounds of North Macedonia, Bulgaria, and Montenegro will continue to
    see snow. River valleys in this region may flood after several days of
    strong rains, though frozen precipitation at high altitudes may temper
    such effects.
    The British Isles will see a push of milder air as a band of
    light-to-moderate rain arrives on a southwesterly wind. Upon passage,
    winds gradually shift west, bringing the potential for sunny skies and
    showers. The Norwegian coast will see prolonged rain along the coast,
    with cloudy and breezy conditions across inland Scandinavia.
