Meanwhile the central Europe has got the coldest amd wettest july in years.
Colorado as well. It’s currently 51F/11C out … in August, which is traditionally the only hot month, usually in the 90F/30Cs. It’s rained every evening and we don’t usually get much rain save the beginning of Spring, which we didn’t get this year. Very odd.

You can see that thermometer live here:

Confirming from the very northern Nordic. It's been very hot here. I think we even had a couple of meteorologically tropical nights. Have not been able to cuddle my wife without complaints almost all summer. "No touching, it's too hot goddammit!"
