Europe is set for an unusually warm start to September, following a summer of heat waves and drought in the southeast of the continent.
Temperatures on the mainland are forecast to be 5C to 8C above the 30-year average at the beginning of the month, according to Atmospheric G2. Southern Germany, the Balkans, Ukraine and the Baltics will be particularly warm, said Matthew Dross, a meteorologist at forecaster Maxar Technologies Inc.
Global warming is extending summer heat into September and even October in Europe. That’s increasing the threat from extreme weather events, such as floods, violent storms and wildfires, but milder conditions could also delay the start of the heating season in a repeat of 2023.
September is important for energy traders, as contracts for the heating season are negotiated at the end of the month. Surging cooling demand pushed power prices to a record in Italy in August, but winter will provide a bigger test for the wider region

Heat waves? The last heat wave I can remember was 2022. 2023 was utter garbage and 2024 followed suit until August remembered that it was supposed to be a summer month.
So this is very welcome for a change.

Fuck this shit. I moved to Europe to escape the heat and now summers are long and hot as back home.

to all global warming deniers I always suggest to just visit the Alps and have a look at the glaciers today and 30 years ago (not 500 years ago). They retreated dozens or hundreds of meters.
