Another heatwave will develop across much of Europe next week. 🥵🧐 It will once again affect Western Europe the most before spreading into Central Europe. Temperatures will frequently exceed 30°C, rise above 35°C in the hottest regions, and may locally approach 40°C. The video shows temperature anomalies over the next 7 days: ventusky.com/temperature-map…

📌 At Argentina’s Esperanza Base on the Antarctic Peninsula, the temperature reached 15.4 °C on 5 June, an exceptionally high value for the austral winter. If officially confirmed, this could become a new winter temperature record for mainland Antarctica. The unusual warmth was driven by the advection of warm air from the north, while local foehn winds on the Antarctic Peninsula likely further enhanced the temperature increase.📈 ventusky.com/temperature-map…

🌎 In the tropical Pacific, El Niño conditions are currently beginning to develop, accompanied by warming sea surface temperatures in the eastern and central equatorial Pacific. Air temperatures across these regions are currently about 2–3 °C above the long-term average. Elevated sea surface temperatures enhance the transfer of heat from the ocean to the atmosphere, which is reflected in positive near-surface air temperature anomalies.

☀ Very warm conditions are expected across northern Siberia next week. Temperature anomalies at 2 m above the surface are expected to reach locally more than 20 °C above the climatological average. The pattern is associated with a persistent high-pressure system, promoting warm air advection from the south and plenty of sunshine. Such extreme warm spells are becoming increasingly common across the Arctic, one of the fastest-warming regions on Earth. Follow the developments on Ventusky: ventusky.com/temperature-map…

The Mediterranean Sea is already reporting pleasant temperatures for swimming, ranging from 20 to 24 °C. 😍🏊‍♂️The warmest waters are found in the central Mediterranean, south of Italy and near Tunisia: ventusky.com/temperature-map… For early June, these values are above average, especially across the central and western Mediterranean. They were caused by the heatwave that affected the region at the end of May.

⚠ Severe Tropical Storm Jangmi is forecast to affect Japan at the beginning of next week. The storm is expected to bring heavy rainfall, wind gusts reaching up to 45 m/s, and high waves, particularly across the southern parts of the country.

Over Western Europe, a mass of warm, above-average air will remain in place for the rest of the week (see the temperature anomaly through the end of the week). Toward the very end of the period, however, temperatures will begin to return to normal. 😍🤓 Next week will already bring temperatures typical for the beginning of June: ventusky.com/temperature-map…

This feels more like Mayday than May. 🧐 Today, the hottest day ever recorded in May in the UK was observed. 🥵 In London, at the Kew Gardens station, the temperature reached 34.8 °C. The previous record was surpassed by a full 2 °C, which is an exceptionally. 🧐The heatwave will continue in the coming days, especially across France, where it is expected to intensify further. In the southwest of the country, temperatures are forecast to exceed 40 °C: ventusky.com/#p=44.97;0.64;6…

☀️A heat dome is currently affecting western Europe, bringing above-average temperatures and very little cloud cover, especially across western and southwestern parts of the continent. It forms beneath a strong upper-level ridge, where persistent subsidence causes the air to warm and dry as it descends. This inhibits convection, reducing the likelihood of cloud formation and rainfall. Because this blocking pattern slows the usual movement of weather systems, the heat can remain over the same region for days or even weeks.

The first heatwave of the season is set to hit Western Europe — temperatures in London, Paris, and Madrid are expected to reach up to 33 °C. 🥵🥵 In England, these values will already be exceptionally high and close to long-term records. Some regions of France, Spain, and Italy could see temperatures around 35 °C. The heatwave is expected to last for several days, with the highest temperatures likely at the beginning of next week — see Monday’s temperatures: ventusky.com/#p=48.2;5.7;5&t… 🧐

⛈ A significant cold front is moving across the United States today, bringing a striking temperature contrast across the country. While the eastern U.S. remains well above average, much colder air is rapidly spreading into the central and northern states behind the front. This sharp boundary between contrasting air masses is also fueling strong thunderstorms. Such strong temperature contrasts are a hallmark of springtime weather in North America, often driving highly dynamic conditions and the development of severe convection.

The warmest place in Europe is currently near the Arctic Circle in Russia. 😜 Even the Mediterranean is noticeably cooler, often with temperatures of only around 20 °C. In contrast, very warm air originating from Iran and Pakistan is spreading into eastern Europe: ventusky.com/#p=56.7;39.1;3 🤓

Heavy snowfall will affect the Alps, mainly in the second half of the week. ❄️🏂 By the end of the week, up to 50 cm of snow may fall at higher elevations, and up to 100 cm on the highest ridges. 🧐 The snow line will be around 1,500 metres above sea level. Track the new snow map here: ventusky.com/snow-cover-map/…

Over the next seven days, temperatures across many parts of Europe are expected to remain below average. 🌬️ This will be caused by an influx of cooler air from the north and northwest. 📉 The animation shows the forecast temperature anomalies across the continent. ℹ️Follow the forecast on Ventusky: ventusky.com/temperature-map…

☀️ As spring progresses, UV radiation across Europe increases rapidly due to the higher Sun angle and longer daylight hours. However, local UV intensity is also strongly influenced by ☁️ cloud cover, 🌫️ atmospheric aerosols, 🏔️ elevation, and surface reflectivity, which can significantly enhance or reduce exposure. The article summarizes the main factors that influence UV radiation intensity: my.ventusky.com/guide/weathe… Follow the UV index forecast on Ventusky: ventusky.com/uv-index-map#p=…

A powerful windstorm has hit southern Africa. 🧐 In South Africa, wind gusts are exceeding 100 km/h, and over the ocean even 150 km/h. In the mountains above Cape Town, more than 250 mm of rain may fall, with flooding expected. This is how the storm currently looks on the wind map: ventusky.com/wind-gusts-map/…

The well-known tradition of the Ice Saints will come true in Europe this year. 🥶🌬️ In the coming days, cold air from the northwest will spread across the continent and bring below-average temperatures (see the temperature anomaly from May 10 to 14): ventusky.com/temperature-map… Ground frosts are also expected, along with snowfall in the mountains. This type of temperature anomaly occurs very often in mid-May.

Major waves are expected in the southern Pacific in the coming days. 🧐🌊 Along the coasts of Argentina and southern Brazil, they could reach almost 10 metres. Windy weather and heavy rainfall are also expected. A windstorm is also forecast to affect South Africa in the coming days. Sea wave forecast: ventusky.com/sea-map/signifi…

Significantly below-average temperatures for early May are being reported in southeastern Europe (see the first image), especially in Turkey and Greece. 🥶❄️ Snow has even fallen in the mountains there. A snow cover has formed above Athens at elevations around 1,300 meters above sea level. Cold air is flowing in a narrow band directly from Russia, which is clearly visible on the zero-degree isotherm map (see the second image): ventusky.com/freezing-level-…
