Europe clears — Spain's orange was a Friday window, Italy holds a residual yellow

The official side of Europe cleared further. Spain's orange over Ibiza, Formentera, southern Mallorca and the Sierra de Tramuntana — rain to 50 mm in an hour — was a Friday window that ran to 11:59 and has expired; Saturday brings high pressure rebuilding with residual instability only over the south-east peninsula, Cabo de la Nao and the Pitiusas. Italy carries residual yellow on the Apennine and southern sector with the Genova Low gone. The European convective anchor this page normally reads is offline, and that absence is stated rather than papered over.

7 turning points on record since Sep 11.

Europe's official side cleared while its forecast side re-armed, a few hundred kilometres apart.
