The heat has 'broken' here now, today is sunny breezy and low 20's - feels lovely and 'fresh' after the furnace of last week. Tomorrow is going to be grey, rainy and 20 degrees high!!!! First rain here for weeks. Next week things warm up again (high 20's I think) so should be pleasant, not as hot as it has been.
Furnace? You're starting to sound like those tabloid papers that you always complain about in the winter. Lol

You had a couple of hot days
Maybe not quite a furnace....but a pretty warm month for London.
I’m impressed, counting up the days on the chart 30C and above....14 days,
even where I live, 14 days in july above would be a lot, in Chicago that would be pretty decent too.
Yesterday July 28th up to 34.7C / 94.5F in Norway at Åndalsnes (SW of Trondheim), warmest so far in 2018 and new all-time high for the province (Møre og Romsdal), old record 34C from July 2014. Unusual place for what might be warmest in high in 2018.
Trondheim Airport Værnes set a new all-time high for warmest recorded 24-hr mean (actually two warmest 24-hr means): 27.3C mean on July 27th and 27C mean on July 28th. Previous record 26.6C in 1994 (recordings since 1946).
The city itself also set a new record at 27C on July 28th, beating the old record of 26.4C recorded July 22 1901 (not the same stations).
After 28 days of the month, the average high for July at the warmest valley station, Gulsvik, is 30C / 86F!

Touche, though its been more than 'a couple of hot days', that's the point. 30+ degrees is not 'uncommon' in the SE UK but to have 30+ degrees so consistently is, see post 952, this sums it up quite nicely.
Yesterday I was in an Alpine valley in NE Italy close to the Austrian border.
It was hot and muggy.
Things changed for the worst when I drove down to Venice in the early afternoon: it was extremely hot and humid and it stayed that way all through the night.
Now I’m in Rome and it’s 35C at 1 pm; even hotter than Venice but more “tolerable” since it’s noticeably less humid.
Looks like the heat wave is going to intensify in the coming days... some thunderstorms are forecast for next Friday and/or Saturday

Look at that poor lonely 12C on the top of nearly 3000 m high Zugspitze
Very much above average, of course
