Unseasonably warm air will remain across much of southern England and the Northern European Plain this week and expand into much of Scandinavia.
Temperatures will be about 3-9 C (5-15 F) above their normal highs as high pressure remains centered off the western coast of Norway for much of the week. The highest humidity will generally stay south of the area, meaning it will be a dry heat.
Major cities that will experience continued unseasonable warmth include Madrid, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Berlin and Oslo.
The high temperature has reached at least 26.7 C (80 F) for eight consecutive days in London. This trend will continue into the upcoming weekend before a storm brings rain and some minor cooling early next week.
The normal high temperature in London this time of the year is around 22 C (71 F).

Along with this very warm weather, some late afternoon and evening spotty thunderstorms will erupt from France into Germany as well as across the United Kingdom during the second half of the week.
By the weekend, the area of high pressure near Norway will shift east into western Russia and Ukraine. This will allow a storm system to bring much needed showers and thunderstorms across north Europe and Scandinavia along with more seasonable temperatures.
