Historic heatwave in SE #Asia, where hundreds of heat records are falling. The inland heatwave was attracted by #Mawar typhoon airflow to the coast of S China, and a foehn was formed during the mountain climbing process, thus creating the extreme heatwave in Guangdong and Fujian.

After the recent flash-flooding in Italy's northern #EmiliaRomagna region, a new depression has formed off the coast of Tunisia in the western Mediterranean and is moving towards Italy bringing back downpours of rain across many parts, especially in the #Piedmont region.

A potentially historic heatwave is getting underway in parts of N Canada and will spread to British Columbia and Alberta, as well as into the northern U.S. With temperature departures of 20-30° above average, numerous records may be broken as daily highs approach or exceed 90°F.

Summer heat has arrived early in #Spain, #Portugal and also SW #France. After the exceptional highs recorded yesterday in the Basque Region, by Saturday temperatures will reach the low to mid-thirties inland across southern Portugal, southern, central and eastern Spain.

On Thursday and Friday record-breaking temperatures are expected in #Spain, with inland areas like Córdoba forecast to reach 15 degrees above average with highs of around 40°C. Even coastal areas like Gibraltar have the potential for temperatures 10°C above average.

An unprecedented #heatwave continues to impact large portions of #Asia, breaking new temperature records in several countries and causing over a dozen deaths. Countries such as Pakistan, India, Nepal and Bangladesh have experienced highs above 40°C (104°F) for several days.

The SPC has issued a Moderate Risk (level 4/5) of severe thunderstorms across parts of SE Iowa, NW Illinois and NE Missouri, as well as a separate area from NE Arkansas to far W Kentucky. Some strong tornadoes are expected between the Midwest and Lower Mississippi Valley.

After a temporary comeback to winter weather conditions over central and eastern Europe, temperatures will rise again but more unsettled weather is expected by the next weekend. Heavy showers are forecast over the Adriatic, Balkan states, Sardinia and Malta.

Next week an Arctic outbreak will bring cold weather back to most of Europe and will peak over the #Balkans and eastern Europe around mid-next week. Temperatures up to -10°C below average and some late frosts in places are expected, especially over eastern Europe.

A strong storm will move ashore across #California today accompanied by strong winds, heavy rain and heavy snow for the higher terrain. The storm center is expected to approach and possibly make landfall near #SanFrancisco this evening, bringing potentially damaging wind gusts.

History is being made in the world of tropical cyclones, as #TropicalCycloneFreddy, born NW of Australia on February 3, continues to make its mark and is now the longest-lived cyclone ever documented. #Freddy could possibly make another landfall in Mozambique by the next weekend.
