   Central continent settling
   Showery Mediterranean

   Issued: 0530hrs Wednesday 15th January 2025
   Duty forecaster: Dan Graves

   High pressure over the continent keeps things settled in central
   countries, sun becoming more widespread here on Thursday. Showers
   across all Mediterranean areas, becoming stronger west.

   Wednesday
   Spain and Portugal fine and mostly sunny. Scattered clouds and few
   showers across the Balearics, Sardinia, and Corsica. Showers more
   frequent in southern Italy and Sicily, with heavy, thundery showers in
   southwest Greece. Showers gradually clear away from the Aegean Sea
   towards the east into Trkiye.
   High pressure over France allows for fog to build here, in the Low
   Countries, and Germany. Widely cloudy across much of Central Europe,
   some clear skies in Switzerland and northern Italy. Snow showers will
   linger in the Austrian Alps and mountains areas nearby in Poland and
   Croatia. Sun spells further south in Romania and Albania, though cold
   here.
   Some patchy sun arrives in the UK, North Sea, and Denmark near the high
   pressure core. Breezy further north with heavy persistent rain on the
   Norwegian west coast. Rain and snow moves across northern Sweden and
   Finland through the day, drier but cloudy south and into the Baltic
   States.

   Thursday
   Another fine sunny day for Portugal and Spain, though clouds and
   showers arrive at the Balearics and east Spain in the afternoon.
   Showers will be frequent in Sardinia and Corsica all day, similar in
   southern Italy. Some showers remain near Greece, though gradually will
   lessen in frequency and intensity. Becoming mostly sunny in the Aegean
   and west Trkiye.
   Windy with some showers along France's southern coast. Otherwise mostly
   dry across the continent. Clouds gradually break across the Low
   Countries, southern Germany, and the Balkans to reveal good sunshine
   and milder temperatures. Remaining cloudy further east in Poland,
   Belarus, and Ukraine, a few stray showers possible in northern areas.
   A mix of cloud and sun in the UK and Denmark, mostly dry here. Spells
   of precipitation on Norway's southwest coast, more frequent north. Sun
   spells possible in Sweden and Finland with a few stray drizzly showers.
   Similar in the Baltic States.
