I see Albi in southern France broke its May record temperature today. According to Wikipedia the May record was 33.7C, but today it reached 35.4C there, smashing the old record by 1.7C!

Very strange to see this happening in Germany as you see this in the USA Midwest when there cold air north and hot air in the south causes this.
An unprecedented wave of sandstorms is striking parts of the region, with experts blaming climate change and poor government regulations.

Hottest May on record in France, smashing the previous record (2011) by an incredible 1.9Chttps://www.bfmtv.com/amp/meteo/le-mois-de-mai-2022-a-ete-le-plus-chaud-jamais-enregistre-en-france_AN-202205310304.htmlI’ve been in Saône et Loire this week and can testify everything in nature is at least 2 weeks ahead of normal and the fields are already browning.

An article largely about climate change, but it reports that in Delhi this summer, the temp has topped 42c on 25 days so far (highest since the record-breaking 2012), maxing out at 49c in May - an all-time record. On Sunday, the night time temp only fell to 33c.
The heat arrived early, too, with March smashing the record for heat. The prolonged heat is damaging crops, leading to India reneging on a promise to export its surplus wheat to replace the Ukrainian wheat exports lost due to the Russian invasion.

Severe storms hit Cyprus last night and first time it rain at night since I been recording, never rain at nights from late May to September only after lunch time usually. After 4 days of fires breaking out up north then suddenly the rains came to put out all the fires which is big help. As if God sent those rain to stop the fires because it never happen to rain at nights in June. Some reported of hailstorms and lightning. Nicosia had recent storm that give 41.1mm of rain and 0.2mm 2 days later. Not yet for last night totals but so far wetter than here which I been reading about low rainfall here.
Record temperatures in Japan....
