Stockholmers cooling off in a fountain.
The heatwave in Sweden is getting so bad that the country has now sent out official warnings about "extremely high temperatures" in several areas, including Stockholm and Uppsala.
Sweden's national weather agency SMHI on Sunday
issued a class-two alert for "extremely high temperatures" (the most serious temperature warning) in counties in central parts of the country: Örebro, Västmanland, Södermanland, Uppsala and Stockholm.
The warning means that temperatures are expected to reach 30C or more five days in a row.
"It is the first time since 2014 we are issuing this warning," meteorologist Linus Dock told news agency TT.
"You could say it's unusual. It is a relatively new warning category which was developed in 2011."
While many of The Local's readers may be from countries where such temperatures are par for the course in summer, it is unusual for the mercury to climb - and stay - that high in Sweden.
Comment: That's pretty clear-cut evidence that cyclonic winds are all essentially electrical in nature. Heat exchange plays a role, but more as a side-effect to the distribution of electric charge potential between mediums - ground-to-air, water-to-air, fire-to-air, whatever.
