Arabia Weather - Parts of the European continent are still exposed to a long heat wave since early July, with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius in many countries, while exceeding the 40 degrees Celsius barrier in Romania, Serbia, Albania, Bulgaria, Bosnia, North Macedonia, and Greece.

Despite expectations indicating that thunderstorms will intensify in the coming days in some countries in central and southern Europe, the outputs of weather maps at the Arab Weather Center indicate that the hot weather will renew later and continue until the end of this month.

Temperatures are higher than average in many European countries until the end of the month

According to global weather model forecasts, temperatures for the remainder of July are expected to remain much higher than the general average, especially in southern and eastern Europe, and it is expected once again that high and record temperatures will be recorded in the Balkan Peninsula and some neighboring countries.

After eastern and southern Europe, a heat wave dominates western Europe, and expectations are that temperatures will reach 40 degrees Celsius in the Spanish capital, Madrid.

Weather forecasters at the Arab Weather Center said that weather forecasts indicate an intensification of the heat wave in some countries in Western Europe, especially Spain, in the coming days, as it is expected that a heat wave will rush from African lands towards Spain and Portugal, which will lead to a significant rise in temperatures. It will reach 40 degrees in the capital, Madrid, and exceed the mid-thirties in most regions of Spain and Portugal during the coming days, especially the middle and end of this week.

Northern Europe is not immune to hot weather, with temperatures expected to exceed general averages by more than 10 degrees Celsius

Weather forecasts indicate that the hot weather will extend to the north of the European continent, specifically the Scandinavian countries, amid expectations of an intensification of the high weather that dominates the north of the European continent, which would increase heating on the surface and thus an expected rise in temperatures during the coming days, including several parts of Norway, Sweden and Finland. Temperatures are expected to exceed the mid-twenties in some areas.

A wave of thunderstorms will affect many countries in Central, Southern and Eastern Europe in the coming days

The specialists at the Arab Weather Center said that despite the hot weather prevailing in most European countries, expectations indicate the passage of an upper wave starting tomorrow, Sunday , and continuing until the end of the week, which will lead to the occurrence of large temperature differences and the emergence of a strong state of air instability. Thunderstorm clouds develop with it, including parts of France, Germany, and Austria, and later extending to parts of Italy, the Czech Republic, Serbia, Croatia, and Romania.

The specialists at the Arab Weather Center note the danger of heavy thunderstorms in parts of the mentioned countries due to the significant rise in temperature that precedes this rainy wave, which would lead to the occurrence of thermal differences that create strong thunderclouds accompanied by very heavy rain sometimes, leading to Floods and floods occur in some areas.

Concerned authorities in Europe warn of the significant rise in temperatures and its impact in the coming months.

Amid indications of continued hot weather across Europe in the coming weeks, and with heat waves continuing to advance to the European continent due to the heat dome and its expansion from the African continent, concerned authorities have warned of a significant increase in the risk of forest fires due to the drying up of trees and grassy areas, as has occurred in other fires. For forests in the Pacific Northwest and other parts of western North America in recent years/as happened in Europe (Greece, Portugal, etc.) during last year's summer season.

Many specialists have raised concerns that the European continent will continue to be affected by the heat dome, which is responsible for strong heat waves around the world, as the continuation of high temperatures usually for a very long period of time brings record temperatures in many countries around the world, as happened in the summer of 2023. It extended to the fall seasons.

The significant rise in temperatures in the summer months may be offset by torrential rain waves in the fall

The specialists said that these weather conditions that the European continent is exposed to these days may become a source of greater concern at the end of this summer and the beginning of the fall season, and the reason behind these concerns is due to the large thermal differences that may result due to the significant rise in temperatures at the present time, which will serve as a Fuel in the fall with the beginning of the advance of cold air masses from the north of the European continent, which will result in the flow of a large amount of water vapor and humidity, which allows the formation of severe thunderstorms in August and the beginning of the fall.

August is usually the worst month when cold winds from northern Europe begin to collide with hot air from the south, creating severe instability, as happened at the beginning of August last year when historic flash floods occurred in Italy, Austria and Slovenia.
