Berlin 17-07-2010
Berliners have been not been turning on their Saunas recently – because everywhere around them seems to be already a Sauna!
Were havin a Heat-wave!
As go the words of Irving Berlin, to a song he wrote with the same words in the thirties they apply today as well in Berlin!
We’re having a heat wave,
A tropical heat wave,
In a relentless heat wave in recent weeks, with the temperatures frequently soaring into the high 30’s Celsius the month of July 2010 is on course to be the hottest on record – this oddly following a cold winter and a very dismal and cold May.
This same heat wave which has also struck much of Europe is causing crops to wither, dry forest fires to burn and roads to melt – at the same time overwrought refrigerators and fans are failing in the searing sun.
From the Russian Ural mountains right up to western Germany is baking northern parts of Europe – sending dry and hot temperatures from North Africa between two stationary low fronts over the UK and parts of South Eastern Europe into Central and Northern Europe.
Usually spared this heat associated with the Mediterranean, — and forecasters are warning of more to come for Northern Europe over the next 7 days.
