Central Europe is experiencing a relatively powerful cooldown these days, associated with a shift of cold front eastward, regional heavy rains and this, surprising, late-season tornado.
In previous days, Germany reported summer days up to +27,1°C /https://mkweather.com/from-10c-in-greece-to-352c-in-france-after-extreme-temperature-changes-floods//, which should be a reason of accumulated energy above coastal, warmer seas.
After a cooldown, maximum temperatures only +5/+10°C are during some days in the first decade of October 2021 forecasted /https://mkweather.com/the-1st-half-of-october-2021-in-europe-any-indian-summer-but-without-snow-rains-will-be-shifting-from-nw-to-se-sector-days-with-daily-temperatures-only-5-10c-in-some-regions//.
Tornado risk is now shifting mainly to Mediterranean countries, where cold weather will come later, during the first 2 weeks of October 2021 – mainly in Italy and the Adriatic region, or later, Greece or Turkey.
