The final days of June were in Europe under the rule of extensive and persistent pressure excavation, known as Heat Dome (Heat Dome). This exceptionally strong synoptic situation will cause another, even more intense wave of heat, which will hinder Western Europe in the first days of July, writes the portal.
Temperatures can rise to +43 ° C in France and +45 degrees Celsius in Portugal and Spain. The heat will then be spread to Central Europe. As a result of persistent drought and low humidity, conditions in many parts of Europe deteriorate rapidly. The risk of forest fires increases – especially in areas that are already facing extreme drought.
The upcoming days will bring the top of the strongest wave of heat this summer, which will spread from the Iberian Peninsula to France and then to other parts of the continent. While the Southwest and Central Europe will face extreme heat, the north and east of the continent will continue to be in the normal or slightly cooler temperature band.
Meteorologists therefore recommend that people limit their stay outdoors during the hottest hours of the day, paying attention to sufficient fluid intake and watched local warnings. Hot will be hot according to the web Also in Slovakia, but then the cooling should be spent. However, this could only take around a week. “Already on Wednesday temperatures in our territory will approach the border +35 ° C, they will certainly cross this threshold on Thursday, ” lists a specialized website.
Goes o A distinctive meteorological phenomenon that can trigger historically record temperatures. Meteorologists now point out that a similar scenario may soon intervene Central Europe, including Slovakia.
The thermal dome arises when a large area of high air pressure is spread over a large part of the continent. This one The high -pressure system acts as a “pot on the pot” – it prevents heat leakage upwards and pushes the layers of warm air back to the ground. The heat is concentrated at the surface and temperatures can reach extremes.
In the upper layers of the atmosphere, the so -called. Blocking height comb – an extremely warm mass of air that prevents the colder air from flowing from other areas. This one The phenomenon is often very stable and can persist for several days to weeks.
