5th July - Today's News: Heatwaves hit Europe and China
Caught my first decent display of nocties this morning - though I need to get up a bit earlier to get some really good pictures as by 3.30am they were already fading in the dawn light
The weekend saw some high temperatures as heatwave hits Europe. In Finland, Sunday's high temp nearly a record breaker and there's forecast to be heat wave weather for Spain this coming week, temperatures could rise to 41c whilst for Britain, some are suggesting that hot weather to continue for the south-east, but not the West Country of Scotland. Actually I don't think it'll be especially hot here in the South Midlands either, with even the far SE not seeing many days pushing 30c.
And it's not just here, as Toronto declares heat alert as temperature soars whilst in Asia, scorching heat hits Beijing, most of China.
However, for Scotland it was a case of after the drought, floods hit country - with over 2" rain in some parts on Sunday. And in France, the heat triggered off storms with tourists stranded in Paris as thunderstorms shut down rail transport. For Germany, the good news is that cold front bringing brief break from summer heat.
In NZ, six people rescued from cars in Coromandel flooding
One from last month which I missed at the time: record high temperature cause Saudi power outages
Volcanic ash research shows how plumes end up in the jet stream
Record rain results in flooding around Lubbock, Texas
Tornadoes, floods slam Saskatchewan
