BBC: Heat across the world and still stormy in parts of Europe. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/news/index.shtml?newX=200 Heat is in the headlines across many parts of the world. A nasty storm is still buffeting eastern Europe. The Asian monsoon is taking a breather while another gets going. In the northern hemisphere it is summer and in many parts of the world it definitely feels like it. The afternoon highs in eastern Europe from Romania down to Turkey have been some 5 -10C above normal over the past few days. Take for instance Bucharest, Romania the afternoon high on Friday was 38C (100F) and in Antalya, Turkey the high was 41C (106F) The very warm readings across eastern Europe were caused by a very warm flow of air ahead of a strong weather system moving into central and eastern Europe. Temperatures across Japan have also been warmer than normal. Friday's high in Tokyo, Japan was 35C (94F). This is 10C warmer than normal! A strong weather system continues to leave its mark across Europe. The storm brought down trees and damaged more than 80 structures across Poland on Friday. In addition very heavy thunderstorms moved across central and eastern Europe. In Locarno, Switzerland 109mm fell in 12 hours. The average for the entire month is 175mm. This storm will continue to track east and could bring an end to the heat wave across eastern Europe by the middle early next week. In Asia the monsoon is taking a bit of breather. The storms that bring most of the annual rainfall for much of the Indian sub-continent have not been as numerous recently. At the same time half way around the world another monsoon is getting started. The monsoon across the western United States, as it is called locally, has just started to bring the risk for afternoon thunderstorms across parts of Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado for the next few days. Much of the western United States receives a good chunk of their annual rainfall from the summer thunderstorm season.
