Heavy rain across Poland and through the Baltics

Monday
High pressure stays situated toward the northwest, whilst low pressure influences central and eastern Europe. Slack pressure over Spain results in warm temperatures but a few thundery showers breaking out in the east. Dry for most of France, warmest in the southwest, up to 30C. A few showers in eastern France. Mainly dry and warm for Italy, the Balkans and Greece. Sunny around the Black Sea too.
A northeasterly breeze affects northern France and the Low Countries, with sunshine and showers. Frequent bursts of rain across Germany, the Alps and Czech Republic, feeling rather cool. Some longer spells of heavy rain affecting Poland. Showers for Slovakia, Ukraine and Belarus.
Much of Scandinavia remains dry and sunny, although a southwesterly breeze brings showers to northern Norway. Warm temperatures in southern Norway and locally in western Sweden, 25C in places.

Tuesday
Spain will see showers, some heavy and thundery, develop rather widely today but plenty of places also staying dry. Perhaps more cloud cover at times through the Balearics but mainly dry here. Dry for Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily. Much of Italy staying dry but a few developing heavier showers later. Mostly dry and feeling hot across Greece and Turkey.
Largely dry with sunny spells and a steady east to north-easterly flow across France and the Low Countries. Some patchy lighter rain for parts of Germany and Switzerland to start but then improving through the day. Showery rain expected across Poland, Austria, Slovakia and Croatia.
Dry conditions again for much of Scandinavia as it is mostly influenced by higher pressure, however, northern regions of Norway and Finland will see some rain as lower pressure sits in the Norwegian Sea. Outbreaks of rain, some heavy, still affecting the Baltic States. Dry and fine yet reltaively cool for Denmark.
