A thread for weather extremes that don’t normally get reported

RobertKK

I thought it might be interesting to have a thread where people can post weather extremes from other countries that might appear on their news feeds but are not generally reported on.

Craziest waterspout I have ever seen. A lot of shear going on above it.

This was the transit of the giant iceberg on the coast near the Innaarsuit village in Greenland several days ago. The authorities feared the possibility of a tsunami if the iceberg was broken: fortunately it remained intact.

I was on the East coast of Majorca on Monday afternoon.
On Monday morning I was surprised to see that the sandbanks at my local beach were all gone, all the seagrass patches were gone and the sea water temperature was down about 5c.

I had no idea about the tsunami until I got home, so now I realise that the tsunamis had washed away all the warm water from my local beach!

We were lucky it happened in the early morning so no children were on the beach.

How is it possible to get those type of temperatures reaching 34c in the arctic circle yet we haven't broke 33c in over a hundred years even with the amazing heatwaves of 1976 and 2018. Added to that they have those temperatures with 24 hour sunshine

That part of Finland has a huge landmass to it's south and southeast, so when the wind blows from there it can bring strong heat without being moderated by the oceans. Equally, it's why it can be one of the coldest places in the arctic during deep winter.

What is equally impressive is Greenland's all time record of 25.9c considering it has a massive ice sheet and is surrounded by cold oceans.

I see Perisher is a ski resort so they probably regularly get low values there.

What I'd give for a few weeks of 18-22c and overnight rain every night

Sweden heatwave: hottest July in (at least) 260 years

Stockholm started recording monthly average temperatures as early as 1756, and with no end in sight to the ongoing heatwave, Swedish meteorologists can already say this year will go down in history.

A video of someone in the middle of the fires in Greece,gives some idea of what people faced. The 100kph winds turning it into an inferno very quickly.

July 26 and 27 were record-breaking hot days over here in The Netherlands. Most of the official weather stations broke the record for either or both of highest maximum and minimum temperature. Heatwave ended overnight with some rain and thunder, but still looking at less than 5mm of rain since June 14. Hot and dry weather to return next week and no end to it anytime soon.

Dutch records highest max temp: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/extremes_y.php?station=9999999&country=3&order=1&extreem=X_TX
Dutch records highest min temp: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/extremes_y.php?station=9999999&country=3&order=1&extreem=X_TN

Note: the highest temperature ever recorded in The Netherlands is 38.6 C on August 23 1944 in Warnsveld. It is not listed in above links since it no longer has an official weather station.

For me this is truly scary, how anyone can deny global warming in the face of this is beyond me, is this summer going to be the new normal?
