The main cause is a stable blocking high-pressure system that is lingering over the central Mediterranean and southern Europe.

According to forecasts, daytime temperatures in low-lying areas and river valleys will range from 38°C to 43°C, while temperatures will drop only slightly overnight, remaining between 22°C and 26°C.

Such “tropical nights” prevent the body from recovering and increase the risk of heat stress, particularly among the elderly, children and people with chronic illnesses.

 

The highest temperatures are expected from Thursday through Saturday.

In northern Italy, eastern Croatia, Hungary, northern Serbia, as well as parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, maximum temperatures could reach 42°C to 43°C.

In Central Europe, including Germany and the Alpine region, temperatures will reach 32°C to 36°C on Thursday, while the heat will spread eastward over the weekend toward the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and western Ukraine, Severe Weather Europe reports.

As the heat moves eastward, there is also a significant risk of severe storms in France on Thursday.

The large temperature difference between cooler Atlantic air and hot Mediterranean air, combined with strong instability and vertical wind shear, could produce supercell thunderstorms with large hail, strong winds and even tornadoes.

 

The heatwave will gradually shift eastward and northeastward over the weekend, while cooler weather will arrive in Western Europe.

Long-range forecasts indicate that the dynamic and warm weather pattern will persist into early September.
