The wild heat wave has caused temperatures to rise greatly above the June average for many countries in some cases to 20 degrees higher.
Norway recorded a temperature of 32.5 degrees Wednesday, reportedly the highest ever recorded within the Arctic Circle in Europe, and evidently higher than the June average of 13 degrees Celsius.
In Poland temperatures reached both the mid - 1930 ' s on Monday, and parts of eastern Germany saw several countries reaching 37 degrees Celsius.
The June temperature records were also broken in Slovenia and Croatia, while Bosnia and Herzegovina saw 0.1 degrees Celsius below the June record of 41 degrees.
The extreme heat has extended to North Africa, where temperatures in Tunisia equalled its monthly record of 48.7 degrees Celsius on Monday.
But in some countries in Europe, a storm blast caused a devastating mud slide in southern Austria, killing one person and flooding houses and roads in the Carinthia region.
Other storms are expected at the end of the week, with harmful hail, downpours, and strong winds.
Our country is also involved this week in a wave of African heat, but today's rainy and hail afternoon included southeast of the country. /A2/
