      My partner a couple of years ago joined me for a weekend while I was working in the Netherlands, she escaped 40-45°C weather… To spend a weekend under the rain at 20°C. She was elated.

    I went out for a jog in 8c and rain yesterday, a beautiful northern Scandinavian July day!

      It’s fine, just a bit boring, have hopes for the week after that though!

      As for what weather I would prefer:

      24C, scattered clouds and a slight breeze

    Some parts of Germany are even colder, believe it or not. Top temperatures dropped by over 15°C since Wednesday here (From 35°C to 18°C tomorrow) just to climb to 30°C by Sunday next week. I‘d rather have a warm or cold summer than this bouncing around.

    I’ve read in an article that said because of the huge high pressure area over mainland Europe the jetstream and the cold air it brings got pushed north. So while we have a heatwave Scotland and Scandinavia are actually colder than usually around this time of year.

    I guess this must be the climate hoax everybody is talking about. 😉

        As someone who lives in Sweden, the past week that’s been up to 29 Celsius disagrees with you

          That was on tuesday, when I had my car back from service and had to take it instead of public transport.

          Going home on half empty motorways with the AC set to 21C was brilliant.

          But yeah, apart from that one day there hasn’t really been any day that has felt like actualy summer, just feels like spring.
