Europe

Weather Underground Forecast for Friday, July 25, 2008.

High pressure will continue to dominate over northern Europe on Friday, but a trough of low pressure coming in from the west will start to push the high pressure system to the northeast. Thus, Scandinavia will continue to see warm temperatures and sunny skies, while the British Isles will see increasing clouds with widespread scattered showers. The trough will produce a cold front that will extend into the European mainland Friday evening and trigger some scattered showers over France and Germany. Expect temperatures to slightly decrease as the front passes through the region to the east.

Southeastern Europe will continue to see widespread scattered showers on Friday. A persistent low pressure system brings more wet conditions to the region, with moderate to heavy rainfall in Romania expected to move northeastward throughout the day. Thus, western Russia will get some showers Friday evening. Cooler temperatures and cloudy skies will continue as long as this system is present.

Along the Mediterranean, expect warm weather and sunny skies to continue on Friday. Highs in the mid-80s(F)/ 31(C) are anticipated over the entire region.
