It's getting sunnier in Brighton. I am getting excited for summer, and beach life.
Oh, the weather outside is...

90-100 all week. Today we might get a shower to cool things off. No rain at our house since early March.
100 yesterday and today. What is that in Celsius?
16 C here which is pleasant. Sunny too.
Snerk
Smeghead
Broke some heat records yesterday as the temp hit >30C degrees. We don't hit those numbers up here very often.
Our summer monsoon has begun. We got over an inch of rain at our house in the past week or so.
Anything over 25 is problematic, imo.I prefer mid 10s to low 20s.
It is around 30 (high) here too, and will be for the foreseeable future.

Way too hot here as well and few drops of water wouldn't hurt but I can do without - farmers etc no so much. It's been 27-32C for over a week now & it'll continue a week or more.
I heard at the news in morning that 30C was also broken in Norway north of Arctic Circle and that's properly rare event. I need to check out the details unless Snerk is faster.

For reference the highest ever temp in Finland was 37,2C in 2010.
As a general measurement of warmth over summer we count days/cumulative days and whatnot of "helle" which means peak temp 25,1C or more. That's a properly warm day here and a meaningful concept in common conversation as rather than wondering whether it was/will be 23 or 26 it's indicated as helle or not. Everyone knows what helle is and details are for statisticians.
At 30C there'll be heat warnings.

Typo. Damn Swedish tries to replace English again.

It looks like it:
Temperatures surpassed 30 degrees Celsius across northern Scandinavia on Wednesday and many metrological stations hit new record high temperatures for June.
The thermometer in Saltdal, northern Norway, reached 31,6°C. Further inside the Arctic Circle, at 69 degrees north in Skibotn east of Tromsø, the temperature was 31,7°.
The Norwegian Meteorological Institute said the highest temperatures were seen in Tana and at Banak airport in Porsanger, both with 32,5°C.
Tromsø, on the coast of the relatively cool Norwegian Sea, saw a temperature of 29,9°C on Tuesday. That is a new record for June. Last record was in June 1974, when the temperature in Norway’s largest city above the Arctic Circle reached 29,5°C.
Rovaniemi had 30,1°C and is by Finnish Meteorological Institute expected to be over 31°C on Thursday. Temperatures over 30°C are also predicted for the coming weekend in the city that has the Arctic Circle and Santa Claus’ tourist trap a short 5 minutes drive to the north. Finland’s northernmost weather station, at Nuorgam in the municipality of Utsjoki, saw the air temperature reaching 31,7°C.

Thx. 30+ C temps in northern Finland are not unheard of as it's far inland but Norway is very different to that.

Not exactly weather, per se, but there's so much pollen flying past my window it looks like a snow-flurry.
High 80s all week. Sunny (per usual) every day. T-storms around the state (per monsoon season). Excellent weather.
A year ago I was wondering if I'd end up in the hospital from the heat, and watching Maddy very carefully for any signs that she might be in distress. It was so hot in the apartment that I honestly had a hard time figuring out the safest place to keep my insulin (once you open a pen you don't put it back in the fridge and it can't be too hot or too cold).
This year... it's been raining a lot, lots of thunderstorms, and while I know part of the reason is medical issues acting up, right now my hands are freezing.
Last year was no blankets. This year is 3 layers of light fleece.
Of course this can change, but I'm just going to enjoy the non-stifling hot weather while it lasts.

Quite delightful, might go out for a stroll.
It's 5:30 am, 6C, and near-zero visibility fog. I live a medium stone's throw from a major route through this part of the city and can barely see the street.
Environment Canada describes this as "partly cloudy."

It's been a hot July, with most days getting into the 95-104°F (35-40°C) range. But thankfully the humidity is less bad than most Julys. We're getting more of a desert heat than a humid subtropical heat.
While perhaps not a terrible temperature for you, here in the UK it's getting serious..

Trains could be disrupted and schools are closing early as temperatures could hit 40C (104F).
