The Pee En Double Yoo heat wave is still more extraordinary.

PNW. Absolutely mind blogging temps on that one. Waiting for a statistical analysis of the current European heatwave, but my hunch is that it isn't as much a climatic outlier as the other. Seems more on par with the June & July 2019 European heatwaves.
The PNW one seems to be in the "Russia 2010" league to me. Should dig out the numbers.

I rate them both the same for being 'extraordinary' if I was asked 2 years ago if either event was likely to happen, I'd have said. "no way"!
As far as the poll goes, the PNW event just pips the UK one simply for the near 50c at lytton....

I'll vote PNW, simply for a Lytton hitting 50C before burning down and being destroyed. That's rock n' roll.

Definitely the PNW heatwave of 2021: it is considered "extreme" by the media.

The PNW one. 42c in Seattle and 50c in Lytton are even more ridiculous than 40c in London and 47c in Portugal.

The 50C in Lytton is definitely more impressive than anything.
42C in Seattle is a little more impressive than 40C in London.
40C in Leeds (Bramham) is more impressive than 42C in Seattle, but still infinitely less impressive than 50C in Lytton.
In my humble opinion.

The PNW one was more impressive, as it was even more anomalous. This makes sense, as the PNW does have the SW US deserts right next door. Europe's got the Sahara not too far away, sure, but it can only do so much with the Atlantic and Mediterranean moderating effects.

PNW as the records were beat by a greater margin.

Both were pretty extraordinary but I think the PNW one was more extreme, as Lytton reached 50C.

PNW! Most places in the Vancouver region topped out between 40c and 44c.

Seems like what stood vs previous European heat waves is the UK got hotter temperatures and was centered more NW |
