Rain forecast this afternoon. Not much under that ridge as usually is the case. Except in northern Italy higher mountains. Upper low causing scattered showers around Portugal and Spain. Peak of ridge is now south of UK so they aren't in the warm sector anymore so there are scattered showers around along the jet stream
Yep I can confirm the weather in the UK is utter garbage today, at least midlands & north.
Carpentras (Vaucluse, France), which is precisely located in central Provence, South of France, is likely to break the all-time French record of heat in the coming days, which was previously set (and still is, at the time of speaking) at 44.1°C, in two small towns of the neighboring Gard department, on the other side of the Rhone River, on 12th August 2003.
Carpentras is usually recognized as being one of the hottest towns on average, in France in summer.
Like most of Mediterranean France (Roussillon, Languedoc, Provence, French Riviera and Corsica), it is under the Csa climate zone (hot-summer Mediterranean climate).
Oh, by the way, how can I include an image on this forum? It doesn't seem to work with the square brackets and 'img'?
That temp map looks pretty close to current temps at 20:15 in the eastern part of Germany. We are sitting with about 32-33c (91-92f) outdoors right now. More of the same tomorrow, but Thursday the temps fall back to near normal at 26c. My old apartment has tall ceilings and does not get blasted by too much sun, so I get by OK with fans and open windows later in the evening.
104F is below average in AZ. For instance Phoenix will be 105 tomorrow with a low of 76. But next week will be 110F.
The heat that France is getting has low dewpoints in the 50's for the most part. Not as low as the 20's in AZ but still pretty low. Remember, heat in Europe comes from the Sahara Desert not from a humid source. It gains humidity from the Mediterranean but not much.
The interesting part is when the heat crosses the English Channel. It will gain more humidity and be cooled down a bit, but I reckon London should at least be able to pull off 30C, maybe even 35C. We will see.
I don't believe the humidex nor the wind chill. I prefer to see temp, dewpoint, sunshine, and wind values to get an idea. A high dewpoint can be offset with a cloudy sky and a strong wind. A combination of clear skies, high dewpoints, and no wind is what is the most uncomfortable, but that combination rarely happens in Europe, more common in the SE US.
