Giusto per dare una testimonianza, qua in Olanda (io sono a un sputo dalla costa, al confine tra Noord-Holland e Zuid-Holland) e' il sesto giorno consecutivo con temperature tra i 32/34°, minime sopra i 20°, vento moderato da est (qua di solito regna il W/SW) e umidita' degna della PP.
L'anno scorso, a fine Luglio, ha fatto una heatwave piu' breve ma anche piu' intensa (io pero' l'ho scampata con una fuga gia' programmata in UK).
Curiosamente, leggevo un articolo del KNMI (Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute) che riporta qualche dato interessante (tradotto con Google Translate in quanto il sito e' interamente in olandese):
"Longest heat wave:
Our country experienced the longest heat wave in 1975. On July 29, a continuous series of eighteen summer days began, six of which were tropical. In the summer of 1976, a heat wave of 17 days occurred, of which 10 were tropical.
The heat wave in the summer of 2006 between 15 and 30 July, with a length of 16 days, was also one of the longest and most intense in at least 100 years. That was the second heat wave of 2006, and the criterion for a national heat wave was also reached between June 30 and July 6.
In 2018, the longest heat wave ever was just not achieved. The maximum temperature did not exceed 25 degrees in De Bilt on July 28, which means that this summer will have two heat waves: from July 15 to July 27 and from July 29 to August 7.
Last heat wave of the year:
In 2019 there were two heat waves, in July and August. The last heat wave started on August 23. Never before since the start of the measurements has there been a heat wave this late in the year."

Inutile dire che sto paciugo mi ha gia' sfracellato i maroni
(di che ti lamenti direte voi che siete arrosto per gran parte dell'estate,
ma io sono nuvolofilo/pioggiofilo e vivo sulla costa olandese..), fortunatamente le tanto amate infiltrazioni/trottole atlantiche sono ormai alle porte
