Much of Spain and Portugal will be dry with sunshine, but expect showers in the northwest again, and perhaps a local thundery burst over southern Spain.

Likewise fine for Greece, Turkey and the Balkans.
Showery for northern France and the Low Countries, some thundery bursts running into western Germany, but eastern areas should stay dry. Plenty of dry weather extends across eastern Europe and into Scandinavia, plenty of sun around the Baltic. Local showers for Czechia and Hungary. Cool and showery conditions for Finland and northern Norway.
