A large part of the European continent should see much below normal temperatures this week again, while western Europe and part of the western Iberian peninsula should see warmer weather in the coming days.
Temperatures are forecast to be even more than 10°C colder than normal for mid-October across central Europe first, then also expanding across the Mediterranean and the Balkan peninsula late this week.It will be a very cold period for the western Balkan peninsula as well, again combined with strong downslope Bora winds along the Adriatic coast (Croatia).Temperature is forecast to be 8-12°C below normal for this period, and also reach Tunisia and Libya after Thursday.
Quite a lot of snow is forecast through late this week for western Norway, the northern half of Sweden and Finland.Lapland will get a high snow blanket as well.About 30-60 cm is quite likely to accumulate over the next 10 days, even more than 100 cm of fresh snow in the higher mountains where persistent orographic snowfall will be the strongest.Northerly flow should also bring quite some fresh snow for the northern half of Iceland, up to 30 cm is likely in some parts.
