July 2006 in European Capitals (warm, recorded, days, cities)

[ADGreen]

I remember July 2006 very well. I was working in Brighton at the time and just remembered a lot of warm, sunny days. We also visited Budapest over a long weekend and it was very warm there. Admittedly I'm glad we left the UK in Aug 2008 as it seems since then summers have been largely below par

Looks like it was an amazing month to be in Europe

Never again. It was horrible.
Average High temperature for Szczecin was 28.5C.

The forecast for some days in a next week is above 30C
I hope that's not going to happen.

I was living in Gdansk, PL that time and it was wonderful, we had many days over 32c, beach was PACKED everyday and Baltic sea was 23-24c, amazing! after that august was kinda normal, and then September was wonderful too, with some very hot days

Helsinki missed out on most extreme heat, and July 2006 didn't make the top 5 warmest Julys.

Average high: 24.6C (Highest temp 30.6C.)

I'll rather take July 2010.

Actually I think 2003 was much hotter than 2006.

Overall 2003 has covered more places.

In 2006, the Balkan Peninsula was not warmer than usual, even a little cooler.
