Heatwave Causes Deaths in Greece, Romania
http://www.planetark.org/dailynewsstory.cfm/newsid/42801/story.htm

ATHENS - A heatwave has claimed two lives in Greece and killed six more people in Romania as temperatures soared to 46 degrees Celsius (114.8 Fahrenheit) in parts of southeast Europe.


Turkey and Cyprus also reported deaths blamed on the intense heat, while three people drowned in Bulgaria swimming in unsupervised dams and beaches at the weekend as temperatures climbed well above early summer averages.

Greece, which has seen some of the highest temperatures, is set to record its hottest ever June.

In Britain, homes were flooded, roads submerged and rivers rose to dangerously high levels on Monday as torrential rain and strong winds lashed many areas.

2. Strange weather all over the place
Here in the Dallas area it's been in the 70's-80's, overcast, and a storm so bad the other day that I felt like I was driving in a flooded creek bed the other night and not a road. Normal for April/May but sure as hell not late June/almost July.
