      Tuesday   
      Often raining across Iberia, some bright spells breaking out later.

      in central areas.

      with a cold easterly wind. Mostly dry and cloudy in Poland and Czechia   
      too but with isolated pockets of sleet/snow. Dry with bright spells in   
      Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria.   
      A cool easterly blows across Denmark and southern Sweden, some patchy
