Atlantic front Weatherwatch Around the world

Last year was the summer of the
heatwave. As Britain baked in
unaccustomed sunshine, England’s
football team even managed to reach
a World Cup semi-fi nal. But while
temperatures in Britain remained
just the right side of uncomfortably
hot, much of Europe experienced
serious extremes, in the continent’s
warmest August on record. And
far from being confi ned to the
Mediterranean , even Scandinavia
suff ered worryingly hot weather.
The heatwave was the result of
the North Atlantic jet stream being
weaker than usual, which meant
the regular arrival of low-pressure
systems from the west was blocked,
so high-pressure systems stayed in
place for weeks on end.
At fi rst, most Europeans enjoyed
the heat – especially in the north,
where summers can be pretty
dismal. But as time went on, with no
relief from the searing sunshine, the
mood changed. For the fi rst time in
decades – perhaps since the famous
drought of 1976 – we were praying
for rain. The heatwave eventually
broke in early September, with
unsettled weather arriving from
the west. For some, it was too late.
In late July, deadly wildfi res broke
out along the coast south of Athens,
killing more than 100 people.
