– Dangerous heat is expected to expand across and have a firm grip
on western Europe for the first several days of August.
While
the core of the heat will be focused on the area around Germany on
Tuesday, temperatures will be on the rise elsewhere across western
Europe Wednesday into Friday.
Highs
on Friday are anticipated to range from 31 C (88 F) in London and
Berlin to 35 C (95 F) in Paris and 40 C (104 F) in Madrid and
approaching 43 C (110 F) in Seville, Spain.
Temperatures
will continue to soar 6-12 degrees Celsius (10-24 degrees Fahrenheit)
above normal in most of these cities through at least the weekend.
"It
is not out of the question for temperatures to reach 49 C (120 F) in
southwestern Spain and parts of southern Portugal Friday into
Sunday," AccuWeather Meteorologist Tyler Roys said.
The
impending heat wave is expected to be the most intense and longest
for the Iberian Peninsula so far this summer. Temperatures in Madrid
have only reached 38 C (100 F) once so far this summer. Such
temperatures are anticipated daily from Wednesday through next
Tuesday.
"In
southwestern France, temperatures can climb to 43 C (110 F) in a few
communities this weekend," according to Roys. [more]
Early
August to bring dangerous heat wave to western Europe
Parts of the UK experienced their "wettest ever day," with Aldergrove in Northern Ireland hit by 98.8mm - which is more than a month's worth of rainfall.
The UK is braced for more than 36 hours of torrential downpour, according to the Met Office which has issued several weather warnings over rainfall and gale-force winds.
Intense flooding and gale-force winds are expected in places causing travel chaos around the country.
According to The Daily Express, Saturday marked the first day since 23 June that nowhere in the UK had temperatures above 25C.
Yesterday's highest temperature, 24C, was found in Cavendish in Suffolk and Weybourne in Norfolk.
This points to a dramatic 10-degree drop from Thursday, the hottest day of the year so far.
However, the Met Office is warning the heatwave will be back by midweek.
Temperatures again soared above 30 °C across parts of north Europe this weekend. Foehn winds warmed the fjords of western Norway up to 33 °C and up to 30 °C far north at 70°N, within the Arctic circle.
