Have you ever heard of “omega blocking”? Well, what’s happening these days is caused by an Omega block. What will happen next week? dito. We are talking about blocked weather and climate conditions, about weather and climate conditions that do not change.
It seems to be summer, or rather, it is summer. Summer in Western Europe, especially in the southern sectors, where absurd temperatures are reached. Imagine temperatures could reach 35°C in Spain and Portugal, but perhaps next week it could go even higher.
Then it’s the turn of the south of France… Peaks of over 25°C are expected in England, which may seem low to us, but in reality they are not low. These are temperatures that are well above the seasonal average. These are temperatures that can be more than 10 °C above the seasonal average in all of the European areas mentioned.
And from us? Well, it’s not that cool here, on the contrary. Maximum temperatures could reach 30°C in various places over the weekend and this value could be exceeded next week.
Unbelievable, or maybe not… On the other hand, in the last few decades we have experienced truly incredible October months, October months that were strongly influenced by the African anticyclone. No, there is no way out, as long as this atmospheric block lasts, the weather conditions will be summery.
They may please many, but we repeat, it is not good. Excessiveness is never a good thing, so watch out for waves of severe weather in the coming weeks. Yes, because sooner or later bad weather comes and it gets violent. We know it will happen, whether we like it or not, everything will change suddenly and drastically.
