Europe provisionally hit its July high temperature record Monday, when the island of Sardinia soared to 118.4 degrees.
By Wednesday, when cooler air arrives in the western part of southern Europe, the core of the heat will shift east into Bulgaria, which could see highs around 115 degrees , near the national record. Extreme heat will also persist in eastern Romania, much of Greece and Turkey before being squashed further south on Thursday.
As this week closes, much of eastern and southern Europe will experience a rare and welcome run of temperatures near or even below average for several days. That kind of weather has largely been bottled up in northern Europe in recent weeks. But in southern Europe, the break will probably be short-lived. Hot weather from North Africa is set to head back northward during the upcoming weekend, and then hover over southern Europe next week. For now, the intensity does not appear as great as the ongoing wave, but it is still quite hot.The heat in Europe comes as much of the Northern Hemisphere is locked into extreme heat patterns that have been slow to budge in recent weeks.
