Meanwhile in Denmark it has been 19-25 celsius all summer, with only a handful of warmer days. All these heatwaves have stopped basically at the southern border with Germany.
Didn't northern Scandinavian countries have some kind of heatwave too (around 30-32°C) ? Is that the handful of warmer days, or is Denmark dodging through heatwave like a ninja ?
Sweden has had a few hot days but not that many. It feels like we're plunging back into winter now, which is pretty much expected. I assume it'll be consistently below 18° by the end of the month.
Thursday it's supposed to be 27, then back to low twenties, high teens.
