Europe’s icy start to December is forecast to give way to milder conditions as the month progresses, providing relief to the region’s energy systems.
Above-average temperatures are expected for the UK, France and Germany, while extreme cold will linger across Scandinavia and northern Scotland, according to meteorologists surveyed by Bloomberg. Spain, Turkey and the Balkans are also expected to be warmer than usual.
