George...you have to go to England....Germany ....and Scandinavia ito get heat this summer
They are all have a fantastic summer. Hot and dry.
Today ushered in the breakdown for us with widespread thunderstorms across the UK and many places seeing their first rain for 2 or more months.
Saturday and Sunday look cool, windy and a bit wet, but next week settles down again with warm weather returning.
It's been an amazing summer for us. Not as good as 1995 but close. If August is warm, dry and sunny then summer 2018 will go down as the best I have ever experienced in this country.
Follow up on the heat in Norway...
A very warm night in Norway. Oslo had a low of 23.9C, a crushing new record, old record 21.8C.
Warmest night was at Lysebotn E of Stavanger: low 25.1C, third warmest night recorded in Norway. Second warmest was earlier this month with 25.2C at Makkaur in the Arctic.
Many places had a very warm night. Low at Trondheim AP was 22.7C, among the warmest.
Yesterday warmest day recorded in Stavanger, Bergen and many other places.
Currently 30C @ 11:00 at Trondheim Airport, and yesterday’s record 33C might be short- lived.

Indeed, the northern parts of Europe have had tremendous positive anomalies this summer. WO says that London's average high is 28.9C as of yesterday. Could be a record breaking July depending on the next few days. Very impressive for them.
Back home, CHI/ORD as of yesterday has an average high of 29.6C, MDW, 29.8C, and IKK 30.0C actually can't wait to go back to Chicago...
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.
Met Office contingency planning says there is a 55% chance that August will be in the top 5 warmest on record. Still possible that summer 2018 could surpass 1976 as the warmest on record.

I doubt it. My prediction is that the pattern will chang by August at least in UK. Scandinavia is another history, though. Poor people.
Strictly speaking, the pattern has already broken - the UK is currently being affected by low pressure. However, high pressure will reassert itself next week, and then into August there is no suggestion of any long-lasting pattern change. All output points to a warm, settled and dry first half of August (all liable to change of course).
Not sure your prediction means much - we're all just amateur enthusiasts, and the experts have access to much more data than we ever will (though they are not infallible either).

What do you base 'your prediction' on? The Met Office suggests the heat will return next week and is set to stick around for a while.
