A second heat wave hits Europe, with Paris expecting to reach 109F degrees today (washingtonpost.com)

> The cause of this heat wave is a large area of high pressure, known as a “heat dome,” that has temporarily rerouted the typical flow of the jet stream and allowed hot air from Africa to surge northward. This weather feature is unusually intense, allowing for all-time temperature records to fall at the hottest time of year

Warsaw 27C, Minsk 21C, Smolensk 18C, Moscow 22C.

The same circulation is responsible for chilly summer in Eastern Europe. So, not all bad.
