Record Cold Across Central Europe

A fierce summer chill has gripped Central Europe, dragging daytime highs down to autumn-like levels.

Driven by a stalled upper-level low, the outbreak set new record low maximum temperatures from the Netherlands to Czechia, readings more typical of mid-October than high summer — an event that has gone largely ignored.

Here are a handful of the new record low daytime highs set over the past few days:

Hohenpeißenberg, Germany, logged just 11.4C (52.5F). Pec pod Sněžkou in Czechia hit 12.4C (54.3F), a reading matched by Alberschwende, Austria. Liesek, Slovakia saw 12.5C (54.5F), while Zakopane, Poland recorded 13C (55.4F). Mt. Rigi and Spa in Belgium climbed to just 14C (57.2F) and 14.9C (58.8F), respectively. Szentgotthárd in Hungary posted 16C (60.8F), Hanstholm in Denmark 16.2C (61.2F), Nancy in France 17.1C (62.8F), and Voorschoten in the Netherlands 17.4C (63.3F).
