A cool and unsettled pattern dominates much of Europe this week, with a sharp north-south split bringing rain to the north-west and warmth to the Mediterranean.
What is the weather like across Europe today?
As shown in the live conditions above, a low-pressure system over the British Isles is driving cloud and showers into northern France, the Low Countries and Scandinavia. Southern Europe, from Spain to Greece, stays mostly dry and warm under high pressure, with temperatures in the mid-to-high 20s Celsius.
- Northern UK and Ireland: frequent showers, highs 14–17°C.
- Paris and Berlin: cloudy with occasional rain, 18–21°C.
- Madrid and Rome: sunny and warm, 27–30°C.
- Stockholm and Oslo: cool and showery, 12–15°C.
- Athens and Istanbul: hot and dry, 31–33°C.
What is the outlook for the next 7 to 15 days?
The weather forecast Europe 7 days shows the north-south divide persisting into next week. A ridge of high pressure may build from the Azores, bringing drier conditions to central Europe by mid-week, but the Mediterranean heat looks set to continue for at least 10 days.
- Days 1–5: Unsettled north-west; fine and hot across the south-east.
- Days 6–10: Drier weather spreads into Germany and Poland; Spain stays very warm.
- Days 11–15: Possible thundery breakdown over the Balkans; cooler air edges into France.

Will the heatwave in southern Europe last?
Yes, the high pressure over the Mediterranean looks stubborn. Athens and Rome should stay in the low 30s Celsius for at least another week, though isolated thunderstorms may develop by next weekend.
Is it safe to travel in northern Europe this week?
Generally yes. The rain is showery, not persistent, and temperatures are mild. Pack a waterproof jacket and layers. Check the Moderate Rainfall Warning for any localised flooding risks in Scotland or Norway.
How does the UK compare to the rest of Europe right now?
The UK sits in the cooler, wetter zone. While Madrid hits 30°C, London struggles to 18°C. This is typical for late summer, but the contrast is sharper than average this year. See the UK weather hub for local details.
