My partner a couple of years ago joined me for a weekend while I was working in the Netherlands, she escaped 40-45°C weather... To spend a weekend under the rain at 20°C. She was elated.
I've read in an article that said because of the huge high pressure area over mainland Europe the jetstream and the cold air it brings got pushed north. So while we have a heatwave Scotland and Scandinavia are actually colder than usually around this time of year.
Some parts of Germany are even colder, believe it or not. Top temperatures dropped by over 15°C since Wednesday here (From 35°C to 18°C tomorrow) just to climb to 30°C by Sunday next week. I‘d rather have a warm or cold summer than this bouncing around.
Personally I would absolutely love that. Sorry it not your vibe tho. ;-;
It's fine, just a bit boring, have hopes for the week after that though!
As for what weather I would prefer:
24C, scattered clouds and a slight breeze
I prefer 15-16C, overcast with periods of rain.
Yeah I am off to northwest Scotland. Guess I will pack a raft
I went out for a jog in 8c and rain yesterday, a beautiful northern Scandinavian July day!
People from Southern Europe are now vacationing up north to get away from the heat.

I am so jealous, wish we had that weather here
Your holiday is from the heatwave.

Yeah, it deffinately is colder than normal

I guess this must be the climate hoax everybody is talking about. 😉
or the golf stream stopping
The heatwave ended though.
It never started here...
As someone who lives in Sweden, the past week that's been up to 29 Celsius disagrees with you
That was on tuesday, when I had my car back from service and had to take it instead of public transport.
Going home on half empty motorways with the AC set to 21C was brilliant.
But yeah, apart from that one day there hasn't really been any day that has felt like actualy summer, just feels like spring.
Really? Can't tell
on Tuesday we get 10-24°C :D in the alps at 1000m
43 C here.
Can you guys please save your warm days for the start of August this year?
The weather in Ireland is alright:
