It lasts a long heat wave, there will be more this summer. But first comes with thunderstorms and rain
As we approach the middle of June, meteorological experts say, a more stable pattern appears, leading to the first significant and potentially long -lasting heat wave in Western and Central Europe this summer. The last days of May have already marked extremely high temperatures across southern Spain, which reached almost 42 degrees Celsius.
The heat will first be reinforced in southwestern Europe by Sunday, gradually expanding to Western Europe until the middle of the week, and then, next weekend, continue under the heat dome that develops over northern and Central Europe. It is a phenomenon that occurs due to extreme temperatures. We will have more extremes like this throughout the summer.
