The weather in Europe is currently mixed: a low-pressure system brings rain across western parts, while high pressure keeps the south warm and dry. Refer to the live conditions above for city-by-city temperatures and wind speeds.
What is driving the current pattern across Europe?
A deep area of low pressure over the North Atlantic is steering a series of fronts into the UK, France and the Low Countries. This means cloud, rain and gusty winds for many, while a ridge of high pressure over the Mediterranean keeps Spain, Italy and Greece dry and warm. The contrast is sharp when you check a weather in Europe map – you’ll see a clear divide between wet Atlantic air and settled continental air. For a more detailed outlook, the weather forecast Europe 7 days shows the low slowly moving east, bringing rain into central Europe later in the week.
How warm is it in southern Europe right now?
Afternoon temperatures along the Spanish coast and the Greek islands are reaching 22–26°C, well above the seasonal average. In contrast, London and Paris are hovering around 14–16°C. If you’re after the warmest place in the UK today, it’s likely the south-east, but that still lags behind the Mediterranean. All temperatures are reported in weather in Europe Celsius – no confusing units here.
What should travellers expect over the next week?
The weather forecast in Europe for 15 days suggests the unsettled western flow will continue into next week, with a second low due to arrive by Tuesday. Southern Europe stays largely fine, though a weak front may reach northern Italy by Thursday. For exact daily precipitation, check the weather in Europe 10 days forecast on our 10 Day Weather Forecast UK page. If you’re looking ahead, the weather Europe 14 days outlook from the Met Office indicates a slow improvement for the UK late in the period.
What about tomorrow and short-term changes?
The weather in Europe tomorrow sees the rain band shift slightly east, so France and Belgium should see drier spells, while Germany and Poland become wetter. The bbc weather europe 14 day forecast agrees that the pattern is unlikely to break until the final days of the month.
Should I delay my holiday to Greece this week?
No. Greece is under high pressure, with clear skies and temperatures around 25°C. No rain is expected for the next five days, making it an ideal time to travel.
Will the rain affect skiing in the Alps?
Yes, in the western Alps (France, Switzerland). Rain is falling up to 2,000 m, turning to snow above. Lower resorts may see slush. Check webcams before heading up.
