   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.
