when will the heat wave in europe end

The current European heat wave appears likely to ease later this weekend into next week , with some reports saying western areas may see relief by Thursday-to-weekend while the east could stay hot into early July. Forecast coverage also says the heat is shifting east, so the end date will vary by country rather than arriving all at once.

What the forecasts say

• The UK may get gradual relief by Thursday and into the weekend.

• Paris was expected to see a decline on Sunday into the 80s next week.

• Berlin and nearby areas were expected to stay hot through the weekend before easing next week.

• One meteorologist quoted in Italian media said the heatwave could last into early July.

Practical read

For much of western Europe, the worst of it looks like it should start breaking within a few days, but Central and Eastern Europe may keep feeling the heat longer. If you tell me the country or city, I can narrow it down to the most relevant forecast window.
