This latest heat wave is being triggered by an omega block, a type of upper-level high-pressure pattern resembling the Greek letter Ω that blocks and diverts the jet stream. This will allow hot air to surge northward from northern Africa and the Iberian Peninsula.
This upper-level feature may become one of the strongest on record to occur over Scandinavia, even by late-July standards, when it pinches off late in the week.
The heat will expand from northern Spain and France into the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, northern Italy, the Czech Republic, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland.
