Another breezy day across Spain and Portugal, windy in the north. Most staying dry though the odd shower cannot be completely ruled out. Largely dry with sunny spells through the Balearics. Wet and windy through Switzerland, Austria, much of Italy and the Balkans. Showers, some heavy, across Greece into Turkey.
