July 2003 was pretty great in Turku, but August a completely normal month.
July avg hi: 26.0C, max high 32.0C. 7 days above 30C, 1 day below 20C. 317 hours of sun.
August avg hi: 20.8C, max high 31.1C. The last week of August failed to reach 20C. 248 hours of sun.
Interesting. July 1994 had a mean of 20C in Helsinki, July 2006 a pathetic 19.1C. What was the mean temp there in July 2010? Helsinki had a mean of 22.4C, the only Köppen 'hot summer' month ever recorded.

mean: 19,4C
mean max: 24,2
mean min: 15,2
impressive with 22,4C in helsinki. swedens highest monthly average temperature ever is 21,9C in Karlstad. however, i think southern swedens potential for high summer averages is about the same as southern finlands. we just have to get a truly extreme heatwave (as you did in 2010).
Average high temperature for that month in various European capital cities:
London - 28.2c (hottest day 35.5c)
Warsaw - 30c (hottest day 35.3c)
Moscow - 26.1c
Paris - 30c (hottest day 36c)
Budapest - 28.5c
Stockholm - 25.5c
Madrid - 36c (hottest day 40c)
Vienna - 29.7c
Copenhagen - 26.2c (hottest day 28.6c) i find it weird that it did not even reach 30!
In many places avg high temp for that month was 5-7c higher than usual, 30c and over in bold.
Would you like July 2013 to look like that too?
To me it just shows how cool average summers in a lot of Europe are. Except for Madrid, every one of those average high temps would be below normal here for July.
London and the other cooler locales, with those July temps, would rank as one of the coldest summers ever here. The record coldest July here had an average monthly temp of 72.0, and an average high temp of 27.8C (82F).
Poll numbers show how much Europeans crave hot summers.

Depends on where the heat comes from. In 2003 and 2006 it came from the southwest, in 2010 and 2011 from the southeast. When from SW, Småland is the best source for heat, if from SE, South Karelia. Kouvola, in Kymmenedalen (SE Finland) recorded a mean temp of 23.0C in July 2010, the highest mean temp ever in the Nordic Countries. They had 48 days above 25C during June-August, of which 23 in a row. 6 days in a row above 30C.
What's interesting is that July 2011 was again very hot here, but quite normal in Stockholm, Oslo and Warsaw.
