Confirming from the very northern Nordic. It’s been very hot here. I think we even had a couple of meteorologically tropical nights. Have not been able to cuddle my wife without complaints almost all summer. “No touching, it’s too hot goddammit!”
Meanwhile the central Europe has got the coldest amd wettest july in years.
Colorado as well. It’s currently 51F/11C out … in August, which is traditionally the only hot month, usually in the 90F/30Cs. It’s rained every evening and we don’t usually get much rain save the beginning of Spring, which we didn’t get this year. Very odd.

Colorado’s monsoon season is right on schedule (and, as always, we could use the moisture)
The weather around Denver looks pretty familiar this week: highs in the 80s and thunderstorms in the afternoon, including the possibility of localized flash flooding along the Front Range on Wednesday.
It’s a sign that the summer monsoon is delivering rain to the Rockies on schedule.
“We’re still very much on the front end of it,” said Bruno Rodriguez, a forecaster at the local National Weather Service office. “But we’ve already seen almost daily showers or some thunderstorms for much of the mountains most afternoons, which is really typical.”
The North American monsoon is a seasonal shift in wind patterns. Instead of blowing from the west, some winds can come from the south or southeast, drawing moisture up from the Gulf of Mexico and sometimes the Pacific. It is most prevalent in late July and August.
In Colorado, this means showers and thunderstorms during the summer months and an increased risk of flash floods. The effect is most pronounced in southwestern Colorado but can reach the Front Range. Denver saw mostly dry weather through the first half of July, followed by a spurt of rain last week and more in the forecast this week, according to WeatherSpark data.
This year’s summer rains have been strictly average in the metro, with Denver International Airport seeing about 8.9 inches of precipitation year-to-date. That’s right in line with the norm, according to data collated by Global Warming Cities.
That’s nice, I don’t live in Denver and I’ve been here for almost 2 decades. The monsoon season usually hits us in Spring with a dry summer. If this is normal then the last 20 years hasn’t been.
The Western slope has been under drought conditions my entire life growing up there, it’s been decades.
also colorado here. just rained where i’m at for first time in a couple weeks, still getting above 30c most days
Except that first week, which was brutally hot.
Where in central Europe was that?
I don’t know where Jyrdano is, but easy to search for places that are:
When will summer weather finally make a reappearance in Germany?
Summer 2025 is turning out to be a bit of a damp squib. If, like everyone else in Germany, you’re suffering from Wetterfrust (weather frustration), you might be wondering when summer might make a reappearance. The answer is: not as soon as you’d hope.
After what feels like weeks of changeable, wet and windy weather in Germany, it’s beginning to feel like summer will never make a proper appearance in 2025. While the forecast for the next few days is much the same, there is a small bright spot on the horizon.
According to Wetter.com, the reason behind this unseasonably wet weather is numerous low-pressure systems over Central Europe, which bring cool temperatures, frequent rain showers and generally unpredictable weather. They are essentially “stuck” over Germany and other parts of Europe at the moment because they are trapped between two high-pressure systems over the Atlantic and Russia and northeastern Scandinavia.
With the situation not expected to change for the next week or so, unfortunately rainy weather will dominate well into August. For Friday, August 1, the German Weather Service (DWD) is forecasting heavy rain, moderate winds and isolated thunderstorms for the entire country. The conditions look very similar over the weekend with what the DWD is describing cheerfully as “permanent rain”.

Why is this summer in Austria so rainy and how long will it last?
I know the feeling: what a horrible summer this has been here too. I switched from heat to air conditioning in only a week. It’s just hitting me that summer is almost over yet I haven’t been outside. It’s been 90° or raining just about every day
You can see that thermometer live here:
