There was a stream of hot air coming in from the Sahara. This happens every now and then. Combined with concrete of the city it can indeed become very hot. After 3 days of record heat the weather in most parts of Europe is back to normal. The worst thing about it not the heat, but the lack of ACs in Europe.

" The Met Office announced the 38.7C figure was received from Cambridge Botanic Garden yesterday*. If validated, it will become the highest temperature officially recorded in the UK, outstripping the 38.5C seen in Faversham, Kent, in August 2003." Global warming for sure!  . *Thursday 25th July. |

Norway equaled its national historic heat record with 35.6°C at Laksfors, more than 65°N of latitude tied with the 35.6°C of 20/06/1970 at Nesbyen (Buskerud), more to the south. Mercury reached at least 34.6°C in Saltdal, the highest temperature ever measured north of the Arctic Circle in Norway. Bergen recorded a record high of 33.4°C on Saturday, an all-time record high of 32.2°C on July 27, 2018. It was 32.4°C in Trondheim, which marks its fourth consecutive day of more than 32°C.
In Finland, temperatures reached up to 33.7°C in Porvoo yesterday. Helsinski broke his absolute heat record with 33.2°C recorded at the Kaisaniemi reference station (previous record: 31.6°C on July 18, 1945). In Tallinn (Estonia), 31.6°C was also recorded.
As Jan said, Greenland has also been suffering of heat.
