Seem every where except the UK miss out the normal Spring heatwave when Spain go to the 40's we usually get high 20's to low 30's here. I think the cold air mass here v the hot air mass further south spawn tornados and rip over NW European places as far as Germany.  Very strange to see this happening in Germany as you see this in the USA Midwest when there cold air north and hot air in the south causes this.

Video footage of the tornado I witnessed earlier today. A rare incredible view up the mouth of the funnel! Near the end you can hear me yell "tornado" as it started lofting trees. Unfortunately didn't catch that part, but in the video you can see pieces of debris in the air. pic.twitter.com/je1CvfDSiT

Hottest May on record in France, smashing the previous record (2011) by an incredible 1.9C

I’ve been in Saône et Loire this week and can testify everything in nature is at least 2 weeks ahead of normal and the fields are already browning.

General range between UK and France is 3C but this time no longer the case and more than 10-15C range so if they got a record broken by 1.9C then here the record of 33C would had been 35C this month.

I'm not a twitter subscriber either but a quick click on the name says their location is Tampa Florida 

An article largely about climate change, but it reports that in Delhi this summer, the temp has topped 42c on 25 days so far (highest since the record-breaking 2012), maxing out at 49c in May - an all-time record. On Sunday, the night time temp only fell to 33c.

The heat arrived early, too, with March smashing the record for heat. The prolonged heat is damaging crops, leading to India reneging on a promise to export its surplus wheat to replace the Ukrainian wheat exports lost due to the Russian invasion.

Severe storms hit Cyprus last night and first time it rain at night since I been recording, never rain at nights from late May to September only after lunch time usually.  After 4 days of fires breaking out up north then suddenly the rains came to put out all the fires which is big help.  As if God sent those rain to stop the fires because it never happen to rain at nights in June.  Some reported of hailstorms and lightning.  Nicosia had recent storm that give 41.1mm of rain and 0.2mm 2 days later.  Not yet for last night totals but so far wetter than here which I been reading about low rainfall here.

Specially notable for 40C being reached on an island well away from any land mass source of heat -- next up, the UK?

Yes please next here and if this coming HP take it time and move east slowly we could get it. Will be low 20s to start with.  

not much talk of the cold spells that have been occurring in the southern hemisphere.

June - south America saw cold as far north as the tropics.

Alpine glacier collapses in Italy, killing five people

It was not immediately clear what caused the section of ice to break away and rush down the peak’s slope. But the intense heat wave gripping Italy since late June could be a factor, Walter Milan, an Alpine rescue service spokesperson, told RAI state TV.

“The heat is unusual,” Milan said, noting that temperatures in recent days on the peak had topped 10 C (50 F). ”That’s extreme heat” for the peak, Milan said. “Clearly it’s something abnormal.”
