Europe's weather forecast

Mr Fawkes told viewers: "We'll get about 10 to 20mm from this weather system. So the rain won't be massively heavy but there'll be a few heavy bursts from now and then."

"To the northwest, we'll see those showers really roll in. Some of them will be really quite heavy across parts of Belgium, the Netherlands, northern Germany and Denmark."

He continued: "There'll be a risk of some thunderstorms mixed in with those showers. For southeast Europe, it's dry and settled with plenty of sunshine around."

"It will still be warm, although not quite as hot as it has been for the likes of Turkey and Cyrpus. Further northwards, we'll see cooler air working its way in with plenty of showers."
