Just want to say that yesterday evening, Alberta had a severe windstorm of up to 129 km/h. It lasted a couple of hours and then died down but was still gusty throughout the night. In my area we saw very little rain but, yeah, the wind was really strong. My cigarettes basically smoked themselves. It was also really hot. 33 degrees! Early!

I also just want to mention that I was, again, getting zapped when I touched my car door yesterday before the windstorm, like what happened during last week's solar wind storm.

On Wednesday at around 3:30 in the morning, I went out onto the balcony on the garden side to watch this:
And the best part of the day happened at 2:30 p.m. I was in my undershirt, working like a dog under the sun (in fact, the next day I got sunburned, even though I'm outside every day... in a T-shirt).
And in two minutes flat, a mist rose from the sea, quickly enveloping the landscape. I came down from my perch to quickly put on a hoodie. Not only had the air cooled, but I felt a chill come over me. I spared a thought for those mammoths grazing peacefully.
And half an hour later, the intense heat was back.

The heat in Alicante region since the 1st of June is difficult to bear. I got sunburn for the first time in my life just by playing a bit in the sea although I covered myself stray away after the swim. We have had more regular rain until end of may than other years, but the land dries so quickly that we already had a start of fire in the mountain. The plants burn if exposedto the afternoonsun. We are around 29 °C...
What is to come for the months of June, July and August, I wounder. We just wait and see. Difficult time ahead.

There's the heat in Athens too. On some days air is becoming so dense it feels like you are in oven.
On the hand I heard that in Poland, where I come from, month of May was one of the coldest in decades. My father told me, he's from 1964, that it's the first time in decades he had to heat the apartment in May.

Today it feels and looks like... Autumn.
It reminds me of mid-September, when the first chilly air masses penetrate our realm and the winds race through the lush trees.
I hear the howling winds. Notice the deep, hanging clouds. While the temperature doesn't resemble any high season summertime. This year's summer is somehow... bit off here in Stockholm.
We got a few peaks with high temperatures, lasting one or two days (1 July 2025: 29.5°C) - and that's it. Next always comes a front that swoops it all away, with unstable weather and cooler temperatures. There has been no stable / parking high pressure area over Scandinavia since May. Therefore, summer has been a highly unstable business this season (Reminding me of summer 2023 where similar happened; no high pressure that wanted to stay).
The water temperatures in the Baltic Sea / Stockholm / East Svealand are unusual low !! (see chart in the end)
Here a little temperature comparison between two evenings; 1st vs 3rd July 2025 (now).

Only 14°C in the late afternoon; with overcast, rainy weather. While our Swedish drama queens on TV, gush and splash the screen with lava red colors over Europe... In the mean time Spanish TV has a far more neutral take on things, despite temperatures up to 40°C.

Here in west Wales things are pretty decent all things considered. It's mainly sunny but not humid, and the temperatures are mild, around 22C. As I live about 7 miles from the coast we get nice breezes too. This is pretty much my "Goldilocks Zone". Not too hot, just right. Apparently temps will increase as the week proceeds however.

The last few days have been brutally hot, around 30C since Thursday. No breezes either. I really struggle in temps like this. Funny, 'cos I used to love playing football and tennis in these temps as a kid. During hot times I often suffer with water retention in my ankles, but that's not happened so far this year, so I'm grateful for that. The heatwave is due to break and subside on Monday, so it's all good.
It's said to be generally at about seasonal normals in most parts of Turkey with a likelihood of getting very hot soon. Despite some recent wildfires in many provinces, rare and unexpected snowfall events occurred in the highest regions of several north-eastern provinces.
Only recently I wrote about the frequency of weather records, and here it is again...
Только недавно я писал о частоте погодных рекордов и вот опять...
Hi all, I'm in Western NC (US) and my landlord came over today to clean out the gutters. He said to expect a lot of rain. I went to accuweather to confirm it and it looks like 11-12 days of rain and thunderstorms.
