Mixed to unsettled weather through much of Europe. Chilly to the north.

Sunday
Patchy rain fades over northern Spain to leave a dry and bright day here and for Portugal too. Early showers fade from the Balearic Islands to leave a sunny afternoon. Outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow spread south over Italy as an area of low pressure develops over the Adriatic Sea. This also brings some heavy rain to the Balkans. Rather cloudy for Greece and Turkey with locally heavy outbreaks of rain developing over southern areas.
Breezy for France, the Low Countries and Germany with blustery showers spreading in from the northwest through the day. Staying drier further southeast. Showers also spread into western parts of Poland. Some snowfall is expected over the Alps while patchy outbreaks of rain affect Slovakia and Hungary.
Continuing breezy with patchy rain for Denmark while low pressure moves over the Baltic States bringing breezy conditions and outbreaks of rain and sleet here. A band of sleet and snow spreads north over southern Finland while its a dry day for much of Sweden and Norway away from the coasts.

Monday
A largely dry and fine day for Spain and Portugal. Mostly dry for the Balearics but the odd shower cannot be ruled out here. Windy but mainly dry across Corsica and Sardinia. Some rain for northern parts of Siciliy, breezy too. Rain clearing to the south of Italy through the day. Breezy across coastal areas of Greece with outbreaks of rain here. Rain, heavy at times, too for Turkey.
Rain pushing down across France, eastern regions seeing heavy spells at times, but also through the Low Countries and Germany. A mix of rain, sleet and snow for Switzerland and Austria, snow to higher ground. Outbreaks of rain pushing into northern and western Poland too. Drier towards the southeast. Heavy rain clearing to the south across the Balkan States allowing for a drier day here.
