Cooler air affects Italy and the Balkans thanks to a north-easterly wind, but it stays dry. Low pressure over the eastern Mediterranean brings heavy rain and thunderstorms to Greece , southern Turkey and Cyprus.
Dry weather extends across the Alps, Germany and Poland, temperatures 7 to 12C. Outbreaks of rain affect Ukraine and Romania, possible snow over the mountains. Much of Scandinavia is dry and bright, but rain becomes increasingly persistent for western Norway as fronts move in from the west. Cold with snow showers in the far north.

Rain spreads from the west into France in the early hours, and continues into the daytime with some persistent falls. East and south-east France is drier, with a few showers possible.
