A series of fast-moving storm systems will continue the theme of unsettled weather from Ireland and the United Kingdom through northern Europe through Christmas.

While no one particular storm will cause widespread damage or travel disruptions, each will produce showers, gusty winds and put temperatures on a roller coaster ride.

The showers will occasionally occur as or be mixed with snow in the higher terrain of the British Isles, as well as parts of Scandinavia and northeastern Europe.

Gusty winds will howl even when dry weather prevails, especially near the coastlines.

The next storm AccuWeather meteorologists expect to bring significant impacts will make its presents felt Sunday night and into Monday as low pressure develops in Scandinavia.

This storm system will first increase winds across the United Kingdom and Ireland on Sunday and Sunday night. Gusty winds will become more widespread on Monday as blustery conditions advance across much of northern and eastern Europe.

Not only will this bring system bring windy conditions, there will also be rainy conditions along the length of a frontal boundary across the region. Snow and ice is expected in eastern Europe as moisture pushes into colder air.

Although this system will bring windy and at times wet weather, it will also bring a milder air mass from the Atlantic Ocean. High temperatures will jump upward on Monday in places from Berlin, Germany to Warsaw, Poland. In Warsaw, a high of 4 C (39 F) on Sunday will transition to a high of 8 C (46 F) on Monday.

The mild air will likely not last as another cold front is expected to open the door for fresh cool air to spill across the British Isles and northern Europe by Christmas.
