Fish are dying en masse in lake Peipus due to overheating. "Real summer" indeed.  |

More than 10 different stations recorded above 33'C in Sweden on the last day of July. One noteworthy reading is 34.1'C in Gothenburg, which broke their since-1901 all-time record of 33.8'C. Landvetter recorded 32.2'C and they hadn't recorded 30'C this millenium up until this July.

^^ that's false actually. landvetter recorded 30C in 2010. but to find a warmer temperature there, you have to go back to 1994, when it was 32.7C anyway, this day has been amazing.  |

We've cancelles out the cold February and March now... Could this be a record warm year? Only time will tell.  This was 2014  and 2015  . For the country as a whole, it might not be warmer than 2014 or 2015, but we could see a record warm year for any station in Sweden considering the southernmost stations are having the largest anomalies so far. |

The May-July drought broke many records. Here are those with the highest deviations. (The top one didn't break a record though, apparently (or it didn't have more than 50 years of data required)  |

Lake Viljandi now has a water temperature of 30°C which is unheard of.
Also, several trees I saw have gone yellow and are dropping leaves due to heat stress.

How is the wildfires situation in Sweden at the moment? The last maps I saw (something like a couple of weeks ago) seemed quite worrisome.

Stockholm's at 29.5/18.5 for the last 31 days now. Unsure if they'll actually manage 30'C highs as it's not very hot anymore.

I think it's super fascinating how there wasn't a single fan in stock in any store in entire Sweden for some time. Don't know if fans are back yet.

Lots of new province all-time highs this year. The heatwave lastet into early Aug in the far north. Finnmark province (larger than Denmark) improved it's August record from 31°C (from 2014, never above 30C before 2000) to 32.8°C on Aug 1th this year, recorded at Banak /Lakselv Airport (70°03 N). Banak recorded 33°C in July.
Troms province (slightly smaller than Belgium) improved it's August all-time high from 29.6°C to 32.4°C! 32.4°C was recorded at Skibotn (69 23 N) on Aug 1th. That's an "improvement" of 2.8°C  Recordings go back more than 100 years in both provinces. |

Reindeer started going into road tunnels in Finnmark (Northern Norway) in July and early Aug to escape the unusual heat
The water in the northern part of Lake Mjøsa, Norway's largest, N of Oslo, appears green due to the unususal large influx of water from melting glaciers

Harvesting season starts to end, and harvests have regularly been 60-70% of normal, for animal fodder crops 50% of normal. This is not because of the heat of course, but the drought.
