Get ready to feel the burn!
If you think this past week has been hot, just wait. Hotter temperatures are on their way! According to BBC Weather reporter Susan Powell, Europe will see a record breaking heat wave in the coming weeks. From Paris, to Madrid, to London, everyone better stock up on their sunscreen. But wait, there’s more. Powell also reported that before this heat wave, some heavy thunderstorms could cause some commotion before the heat. So get ready to have an umbrella one day and a sun hat the next.
In terms of the weather across Europe it is all about the heat through the week ahead, and particularly for western Europe where high pressure will start to build and eventually will tap into air all the way from northern Africa, bringing heat all the way up into the UK and Scandinavia.
We have still got frontal systems grazing into the west currently, some heavy thundery rain out of those as the warm air starts to engage with them. Still some heavy thunderstorms possibly further east as well, with a particular target, it looks like in Romania on Tuesday. Sunshine for Cyrus, 40C in Nicosia across much of Greece and Turkey too. Some stray showers, across the Balkans.
A little cooler across Portugal with the remnants of a frontal system bringing some cloud into the north. Some isolated thunderstorms spreading into the west of France, some for the UK, some heavy thundery rain for Scandinavia. But, just look at those temperatures building across the core of Europe.

And here comes the heat France…
As we increasingly pick up that southerly flow, and the highs hold the cloud and rainfall at bay towards the west, the temperatures will climb.
Potentially record-breaking heat for the likes of parts of France, by the time we get to the end of the week.

And then she moved onto London.
Certainly a lot of sunshine under that high across the western half of Europe, temperatures up to 30C, even as far north as London. Further east a lot of sunshine as well and it does look like we will see that rain moving away from Bucharest.

Well that map certainly doesn’t look good. Basically, Europe is kind of screwed right now…but there are things you can do to prepare! With temperatures expected to hit 40C in Madrid Friday and Saturday, and 39C in Bordeaux on Wednesday, sunscreen is super important! Not only can over exposure to UV rays cause sunburns and wrinkles, but cancer more importantly. So make sure to prepare for this heat. And stay hydrated!
