In Poland 1921 record of 40,2°C still holds strong. Actually top 5 are - 1921, 1921, 1959, 1921, 1994. Not denying heatwaves but the news reporting seems skew

In Poland 1921 record of 40,2°C still holds strong. Actually top 5 are - 1921, 1921, 1959, 1921, 1994. Not denying heatwaves but the news reporting seems skewed a bit. We had heatwaves in Western Europe while fairly cold summer in Eastern Europe due to jetstream this year. But 'Heatwave in Paris' makes better headline then 'Cold summer in Minsk'. Saddly jetstream and its consequences is still poorly understood by science. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20623627 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20623627
