Mainland Europe is currently dominated by a strong high pressure area located over the Alps. In the eastern Mediterranean, a low pressure system brought heavy precipitation, in many cases in the form of snow, to Greece and surrounding regions, while Scandinavia is being battered with wind and precipitation as a low pressure system is moving across the peninsula. A cold front is crossing over the British isles from the north-northwest with cooler air trailing behind, bringing storm gusts in the process. In most of mainland Europe, temperatures are slightly below freezing at night and reach low positive values during the day, with the Balkan and Scandinavia being the exceptions where it is cooler.
