Europe is facing unusually hot May, while in Spain and France, temperatures in many places exceeded 35 °C. Numerous local records have been broken, and the heat is spreading from the Iberian Peninsula to northern Europe
On Monday, May 25, an 82-year-old record was broken in Great Britain.
Namely, on that day the highest May was measured temperature since there are measurements: 34,8 °C around London. The previous record, recorded back in 1944, was 32,8 °C in May, reminds Nikola Zdravković from the Klima 101 portal.
This record is the result of a strong heat wave that affected a vast expanse of Western Europe, from Portugal and northern Spain, through France to the south of England.
In Spain and France, temperatures at many measuring stations exceeded 35 °C, and hundreds of May records were broken.
These are temperatures that are almost 10 °C higher than the average for this time of year - and are the result of the appearance of a "heat dome", a high pressure field that has trapped warm air in this area, like a pot with a lid down.
Although we are far from this "pot", Serbia has also become suddenly warmer these days.
In Vojvodina, Belgrade and parts of central and eastern Serbia, May 25 was the first so-called summer day this year, with temperatures above 30 °C.
Heat rules almost all of Europe, with the exception of the southern parts of the Balkans: temperatures are significantly above average in Central Europe (Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary...), Scandinavia and Russia. Even in Austria, temperatures over 30 °C were recorded.
Such heat waves, which in May bring weather that should be rare even in the middle of summer, are becoming more frequent and more intense in the conditions of climate change.
Namely, Europe is warming faster than the world average. And the increase in the average temperature means that the limits of what is possible are also moving when it comes to extremes: weather episodes are happening that were not only unlikely, but often practically impossible just a few decades ago.
That's why it is expected that temperature records will continue to be broken in the future - both summer ones, as well as during spring, winter and autumn. And the weather that was once considered extreme is slowly becoming normal and expected.

In the elections on May 5, 1935, the government and opposition lists were voted on. Before the elections, the government intimidated teachers and scholars with dismissals and arrests, called opposition candidates Ustasha allies and accused them of organizing the assassination of the king, prevented foreign journalists from reporting...
As if by pattern, the same thing that is happening now on Novoj.rs, happened on Television Novi Sad in October 1990.
Vesna Lalić, an excellent photographer, has passed away. She photographed all the most important social and political events in Serbia, as well as seemingly ordinary everyday moments.
It sounds incredible, but it's true - AI worms could soon spread through home devices
"The one who remains stuck in the sphere of traumatic experiences, who constantly thinks that, here, while we are talking about the book, someone is given the wrong diagnosis, someone is sloppily operated on, someone is receiving therapy that they do not need, someone is losing their hair, that person has a problem because living in fear is not life, and psychotherapy is an expensive thing."
There is, literally, no difference between the one who claims it is day in the middle of the night, or the one who claims to be a giraffe, from the claims we read on billboards: that Vučić is working to unify Serbs and that Serbia is doing better and better day by day.
The pre-election arrests due to the alleged "overthrow of the state" testify to the regime's panic. The bad news for them is - they can't arrest the whole people who decided to defend themselves from progressive beatings and election theft
The ring that tightens around Ćaciland Student list is getting narrower. Because there are more and more spoiled people who see the false prophet for what he is: a street obscener who is fighting Serbia
