Weather Outlook for the Week: Summer Returns with a Splash
Sun makes a swift return, ready to reclaim its summertime glory.
Get ready for some serious sun and heat as summer makes a triumphant return across Europe! Although Pentecost weekend might be a bit gloomy with windy and changeable weather, it's all uphill from there. By the weekend, numerous places will experience the return of sunny, scorching temperatures. Just remember, heat storms might play spoilsport.
Pentecost weekend is a washout in the United Kingdom and Northern Europe, with local heavy storms and moderate temperatures. It's a different tale in the Mediterranean region, where temperatures will reach close to 40°C in Andalusia, Spain.
Low-pressure systems prevail over Northern Europe, bringing gloomy skies and spitting rain. In contrast, Southeastern Europe basks in hot, sunny weather, projected to be the hottest part of the continent over the coming week. Eastern Europe, specifically coastlines near the North Sea, will experience cooler conditions with a chillier wind.
If you're located in Central or Western Europe, including France and the Netherlands, get ready for a mix of sunshine and potential precipitation over the next few days, with a chance of localized thunderstorms - especially as unsettled weather moves in from the Atlantic towards the latter part of the week.
Temperatures across the continent will be generally warm to hot, with some regional cooling near coasts in the east. However, we can expect a quick return to hotter-than-average conditions after the temporary unsettled period.
So, grab your sunscreen, swimming gear, and beach towels, as it's going to be one heck of a summer!
