France roasts in record heatwave, two die in Spain

France registered its highest temperature since records began on Friday as the death toll rose from a heatwave suffocating much of Europe.

France sees record 45.1 degree heat near Nimes
France saw new all-time record temperatures on Friday afternoon as a sweltering heatwave engulfed much of southern and central Europe, French state weather agency Meteo France said.

French all-time record temperature rises further to 45.8 degrees

France saw a temperatures rise to record levels for the third time in a same day on Friday as a sweltering heatwave engulfed much of southern and central Europe, French state weather agency Meteo France said.

France, Germany, Poland and Czech Republic set June heatwave records; worst still to come

As the heatwave escalates towards its peak late this week, temperatures have already neared or surpassed 37.8 deg C in parts of France, Germany, Poland and Spain. Even Switzerland has locations which have risen past the 30 deg C mark.

The authorities raised alerts on Wednesday (June 26) as the heatwave threatened to intensify, with temperatures heading into the 40s deg C.

The choking heat has already prompted traffic restrictions, sparked forest fires and fanned debate over public nudity in Germany as sweltering citizens stripped off.

While records will continue to be broken in the days ahead, a number of historic marks have already been set as the heatwave cranks up.

France's meteorological agency, Meteo-France, tweeted that the country posted its hottest June day on record on Wednesday, with an average high temperature of 34.9 deg C.

In Germany, a weather station in Brandenburg soared to 38.6 deg C on Wednesday afternoon, becoming the hottest temperature recorded in the country in June.

A blaze 90km south-west of Berlin, which started on Monday and ravaged around 100 hectares, was finally brought under control on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Poland set its June temperature record, with a high of 38.2 deg C in Radzyn, in the eastern part of the country. The Czech Republic also appears to have set a June record with a temperature of 38.9 deg C in Doksany, north-west of Prague.

The low temperature in Nice, France was just 26 deg C on Wednesday, the warmest ever recorded in June.

Those toasty lows act as a big launching point for daytime highs.

On Thursday, France could challenge its highest temperature recorded in June or any month, with a record portion of the country under alerts for heat. The highest modern temperature in June in France is 41.5 deg C, but parts of southern France are projected to reach 43 deg C on Thursday or Friday. This is near the country's national temperature record (for any month) of 44.1 deg C.

Yup, quite hot in Dalmatia those days - but intense Boorah The Elemental actin' as yuge outdoor coolong fan begets us some relief...

I feel for those of you in France in those temperatures, I was out in nature at lily ponds in West Wales today, about 24-5 degrees, and that was hot enough for me. I can't handle temps when they rise over 30 generally.

Incredible but true. The canopy (outer leaves) of the deciduous trees burned heavily in a single afternoon at Saint Gely du Fesc near #Montpellier ! It only took one afternoon! Any other similar observations?

The #Gard beats again the #heat record of #France now at 45.9°C and burns tonight: 24 #fires in progress with already 9 houses burned and nearly 100 hectares destroyed. Courage to the #firefighters, the night looks tropical (30°C in places). Photo @ForexFires_FR

Are these heat waves instances of localized "global" warming? How do we reconcile the global cooling/coming ice age data with these heatwaves? In discussions with people, they always bring up heatwaves such as what we're experiencing in Western Europe right now as proof that there is only global warming...

It is not global warming, it is climate change. It is Extremes in weather / temperature. Recall this earlier in January 2019
Polar vortex claims eight lives as US cold snap continues. Here

So we are witnessing extremes of weather.

46.1!!! that's like 115° F ...buf!

Just to note that 46.1 was not officially registered because that recording came from a private weather monitoring station. The official high temp for yesterday is 0.2 degrees C lower: 45.9

That's what bugs me about the whole global warming claim. It's OBVIOUSLY not warming everywhere. Sure there are hot spots like in France right now, but many places experienced record cold this past winter. And at almost any time of the year many, many places are experiencing unprecedented rainfall and flooding and associated disasters. Add in the increase in tornadoes in many places were tornadoes were previously rare, not to mention water spouts and freak storms - including animal die-offs as a result - and the only phrase to describe it is climate CHAOS.

It seems reasonable to assume that chaos would reign during a phase transition from one climate paradigm to another. So what is the new one? Well, our money is on abrupt cooling of the N. Hemisphere and similarly significant changes elsewhere (droughts leading to desertifiation in otherwise lush areas etc.)

Regarding the record temperature in France, then it appears that something is not right according to this article, which has a photo of where that temperature was measured. It is not surprising that the global warmist are being a bit creative with the truth as they desperately want people to believe:

Yesterday gator posted the wrong weather station for the France record temperature. Today he posted the correct one, which is much worse.

When there are cold spells and cold records are broken, it is by global warming people called weather and something not to be confused with weather which are long term trend. When it is hot, then immediately it is claimed to be due to climate change and no longer called weather. A blaring inconsistency.

In the last three days in Northeastern Pennsylvania, we have experienced high 80's-low 90 F temps. The forecast for the next several days is the same but with occasional evening thunderstorms, which increases the humidity. Traditionally, we get this weather in August, so we're ahead of schedule. Last August, we experienced about three weeks of temps reaching 100 F without any rain in the forecast. The air felt stagnate with very little breeze. This weather pattern decimated most of the home gardens and farm agriculture businesses that were near harvesting season. The heatwave broke on the heels of a sever thunderstorm that produced large golf ball size hail. Mid-September is when apples and pears mature in our area and many of the rural orchards suffered produce knocked to the ground from the hail and bruising of the fruit still on the trees. A neighbor who has a mature sour cherry tree that produces about 6-7 bushels a season, lost about 85% after the hail storm. What was salvaged on the ground was promptly processed into jelly, while what remained on the tree - turned brown and soured. We may be looking at another harvesting season like last year. For home gardens, a small greenhouse might be the solution.

Wildfires and power cuts plague Europe as heatwave breaks records

Hundreds of firefighters battled on Saturday to contain wildfires in southern France as a stifling heatwave brought record-breaking temperatures to parts of Europe, killing at least three people in Italy.

Would you prefer this site?
Gallargues-le-Montueux (Gard - France) | Relevés météo en temps réel - Infoclimat
Either way, it is pure crap.
I searched French websites to locate the offending station. The first station was listed by long/lat, and the second was located using the city name.
France on Friday recorded an all-time high temperature of 45.8°C on Friday, BBC reported. The temperature was recorded in the southern town of Gallargues-le-Montueux.
It appears that it was the second site that set the “official record”, but either way any rational human being who sees this now knows without a doubt that the “data” gathered at these locations is pure garbage and should never be used for anything other than entertainment.
They claim precision to hundredths of a degree, when their stations are doing good to get within ten degrees of the actual temperature.

So, one can just go to the above site Gallargues-le-Montueux (Gard - France) | Relevés météo en temps réel - Infoclimat and select the date for the 28th of June and see the results oneself. The temperature that I get is 44.1°C from that station, so perhaps they are pointing to something else called biotemperature, which takes in the windchill, although here the highest for that station is 46.4°C. How the BBC settled on 45.8° C from that station/rooftop is for me a little mystery, but then I am not a climate expert :)

There is indeed a lot of confusion about this measurement. A possible explanation is that there are two weather stations in Gallargues.
1/ A station that is privately owned and installed on a roof. This station being part of the "static network" created by the Infoclimat website. Here is a description and logs of the station from the Infoclimat website.
2/ A station operated by Meteo France (the national weather agency) that is located in a field between silos and a canal (not on top of a house). The station is described here on the website of Meteo France.

Notice that the maximum temperature recorded by the private station in Gallargues on June 28th is 44.2°C (see bottom of this page - température maximale) while the maximum temperature recorded by the Meteo France station is 45.9°C.

This difference of 1.7°C might be due to several factors:
- inaccuracy of the station(s)
- difference of location,
- most likely: difference of elevation, knowing that typically a station a few meters over the top of a roof will provide maximum temperatures that are 1 to 2 degrees lower than what would be measured 1.5 meters (5 feet - the standard elevation for weather stations) above the ground.

13 weather stations, stretching over a 120 km strip from Montpellier (34) to Draguignan (83) provided maximum temperatures that exceeded the previous record for France (44.1°C in 2003 in Gard - official tracking of temperatures started in 1900) of which 3 weather stations (including the Meteo France station in Gallargues) provided a max temp in excess of 45°C.

Here is a picture of the measured max temp in SW France on June 28th:


As previously mentioned, a French area in France reaching record maximum temperatures doesn't tell us much about the evolution of the average yearly temperature on the planet.

The slight global cooling experienced over the last 20 years is totally compatible with local max temp records being smashed.

As suggested in "Earth Changes and the Human Cosmic Connection" we are witnessing as slight global cooling with an increasingly chaotic weather (hence the record minimum and maximum temperatures here and there).

In Alaska, we are having very warm weather as well. It is 86F outside my window. It is always about 5-10 degrees warmer here than in nearby Anchorage.

The firweeds that grow in my yard have foam forming along it's stalk. And thankfully the mosquitoes are keeping to the woods.

I want to get out and enjoy the sun, but there is no relief from the heat, and staying in the shade seems like the thing to do.
