News Miami’s Highest Temperature
This week, unusual warmth has penetrated well into the Arctic Circle in northern Norway and Finland, places that are normally encased in ice and snow for the majority of the year.
On Monday, the temperature in Banak, Norway, reached 94 degrees Fahrenheit (34.3 degrees Celsius). Highs of 93 degrees Fahrenheit (33.7 degrees Celsius) on Sunday and 89 degrees Fahrenheit (31.7 degrees Celsius) on Tuesday accompanied this.
Temperatures of this magnitude are more common at lower (southern) latitudes. In fact, Monday’s high of 94 degrees Fahrenheit (34.3 degrees Celsius) tied the year’s highest temperature in Miami, Florida.
“The extreme warmth was produced by an exceptionally strong ridge of high pressure stretching far to the north and through Scandinavia early this week,” said Meteorologist.
From Sunday to Tuesday, temperatures in Kevo, a lonely outpost near the town of Utsjoki, reached 91 degrees Fahrenheit (32.8 degrees Celsius) or higher for three days in a row.
The Arctic sea ice has melted quickly due to the unusually mild weather. According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), sea ice extent is currently among the lowest on record for this time of year.
“The ridge of high pressure is delivering hot weather all the way from the Balkans to the Baltics,” Meteorologist explained.
The recent heat wave in northern and eastern Europe comes after the continent experienced its second hottest June on record, according to the World Meteorological Organization.
Much of Europe was scorched during the record-breaking month of June. On June 21, Moscow set an all-time high temperature of 94.5 degrees Fahrenheit (34.7 degrees Celsius). Since 1901, that record had been kept.
While the ridge of high pressure that caused the heat has moved into eastern Europe, Metrologist predicts that temperatures will remain substantially higher than normal across the region.
“As this ridge of high pressure decreases over the weekend, the scorching weather across eastern Europe are projected to subside, Metrologist.
In certain parts of the continent, isolated showers and thunderstorms will develop, though rainfall will likely not be heavy or widespread enough to alleviate the drought that has plagued southern and eastern Europe since June.
