Europe weather today: warm sunshine across the centre and south, rain pushes into the British Isles

Large parts of continental Europe enjoy a settled and warm Sunday under high pressure. Switzerland, Austria, Germany, the Low Countries, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary are mainly dry, with long sunny spells and locally warm late-September temperatures.

Farther west, Atlantic weather is more active. A band of rain moves east across the British Isles, with some areas of Wales and western Britain seeing heavy spells during the day. Northwest France also turns cloudier with a few showers, while most of France remains unusually warm.

Germany ranges from the upper teens on parts of the Baltic coast to close to 30 °C in the southwest. Austria reaches around 19 to 26 °C after a cold morning, while Switzerland sees widespread mid-20s and locally around 28 °C in favoured lowland areas.
