Europe splits again on Wednesday: cool mornings in central Europe, summer heat still holding in France

Tuesday evening leaves much of western and central Europe under quiet conditions.

Central Europe

Parts of Bavaria drop to around 0 to 3°C before Germany recovers to mostly 17 to 22°C. Switzerland and Austria start mostly in single digits and rise toward 18 to 23°C.

Alps

High pressure keeps much of the Alpine region dry, with snow levels generally above 3000 metres.

France

20 to 24°C near the Channel, 24 to 29°C across much of the north and centre, and 28 to 32°C in the south.

Italy

Mostly settled, cooler than before, with local showers over Sardinia, Sicily and the far south.

By Wednesday evening, isolated thunderstorms and strong gusts become possible in north-western Germany.
