A heatwave is set to sweep across Europe this week, with temperatures expected to soar above 40 degrees Celsius in some regions. The high temperatures will affect multiple countries, including Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Sweden, Cyprus, and Greece.

In Austria, Geosphere Austria announced that the next heatwave will bring temperatures up to 38 degrees Celsius in the second half of the week, with the eastern lowlands being the most affected. In Germany, starting from Tuesday, temperatures will rise above 30 degrees Celsius, with the highest temperatures expected around the Rhine at 37 degrees. The heatwave is brought by the high-pressure area "Olaf". Nights will also be warmer, with temperatures not dropping below 20 degrees in urban areas, according to Jacqueline Kernn of the German Weather Service.

Switzerland is also bracing for another heatwave starting from the middle of next week, with temperatures up to 37 degrees Celsius, according to Meteoschweiz. The drought is expected to persist, with no significant rainfall in sight. The Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) warned that water levels in Switzerland’s lakes and rivers have fallen further due to the drought.

In Italy, Norwegian winemakers in Piemonte are suffering from drought, with cracks in the soil and dried-up grass. The heat and lack of rain are affecting the plants, which are showing signs of stress. Stein Thorbjørnsen, a winemaker, noted that the plants are turning their leaves, a sign of stress and need for water.

Belgium is also expecting another heatwave from the middle of next week, with temperatures potentially reaching 35 degrees Celsius on Thursday. This would be the fourth heatwave since May, according to Pascal Mormal, a meteorologist at the IRM.

In Sweden, a high-pressure system is moving towards the country, bringing warmer temperatures by the middle of next week. However, the warm weather will be short-lived, with unstable weather returning by Friday, according to Eva Strandberg, a meteorologist at SMHI.

Cyprus is expecting temperatures to exceed 40 degrees Celsius from Tuesday to Thursday, according to the Meteorological Department. In Greece, temperatures are expected to rise to 35 degrees Celsius today.

The heatwave is not limited to Europe. In the USA, extreme heat is gripping the central US, with temperatures expected to exceed 38 degrees Celsius in Dallas and near 47 degrees Celsius in Phoenix, straining power grids.

The heatwave is expected to have significant impacts on daily life, with warmer nights and potential strain on power grids. In Switzerland, the drought is affecting agriculture and water levels in lakes and rivers.

The heatwave is expected to last through the week, with some regions experiencing high temperatures until the beginning of August. However, the exact duration and intensity of the heatwave may vary by region.

No relief from the current drought is expected While thunderstorms have lashed the Alpine ridge, they have brought little relief to drought-stricken Switzerland. Now, federal authorities warn that another heatwave is likely to arrive by the middle of next week. Since July 23, people have been talking about the "dog days". This term, which derives from the constellation Canis Major, traditionally refers to the hottest period of the summer. It lasts until 23 August, as explained in a blog post by Meteoschweiz. The dog days will live up to expectations next week. Whilst temperatures over the weekend were in line with the July average, an exceptional heatwave is once again on the cards from the middle of next week, triggered by increasing high-pressure influence and subtropical hot air. According to forecasts by Meteoschweiz, maximum temperatures of up to 37 degrees are expected from Wednesday onwards in western and German-speaking Switzerland. Drought persists According to the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN), the ...
