Europe is experiencing a mixed weather picture today, with a sharp contrast between a warm, dry Iberian Peninsula and cooler, unsettled conditions across northern and central regions. The live conditions above show a cold front pushing eastwards, bringing rain and gusty winds.
What are the key weather patterns across Europe right now?
A strong high-pressure system over southern Europe is keeping temperatures well above average for the season, while a series of low-pressure systems tracks across the north. This split pattern is likely to persist for the next few days.
- Iberian Peninsula: sunshine, highs of 28–32°C in Spain and Portugal
- Central Europe: cloudy with rain moving from France towards Germany, 15–20°C
- Scandinavia: cooler, 10–14°C, with patchy rain in Norway and Sweden
- Eastern Europe: mainly dry but breezy, 18–22°C from Poland to Romania
- Balkans and Italy: warm and mostly sunny, 24–28°C
Are there any warnings or notable weather events?
A yellow-level rain warning is active for parts of northern France and the Benelux region through Friday, with potential localised flooding. Further east, a sharp temperature drop is expected in the Baltic states over the weekend. For the UK outlook, see the Moderate Rainfall Warning and the 10 Day Weather Forecast UK.
Will the warm weather in southern Europe last?
Yes, the high pressure is expected to hold for at least another 5 days across Spain, Portugal and Greece, with temperatures staying in the high 20s to low 30s °C. After that, a cooler Atlantic front may arrive.
What is the forecast for the Alps this week?
A mix of sun and showers, with the snow line rising to around 2,500 m. Temperatures at 2,000 m will be between 6 and 10°C. Good conditions for lower-altitude hiking but take rain gear.
How accurate are 14-day or 15-day European forecasts?
Forecast confidence drops significantly beyond 7 days. While broad patterns (e.g., warmer in the south) can be indicated for the 14-day outlook, day-to-day details become unreliable. Use the Weather Radar UK for near-term tracking.
