Before potential heatwave in Europe, we are aliving powerful cold spell in many parts of Europe. In Tuesday, in some basin parts of Europe with MASL under 800 meters above sea level cooled up to +3°C (Poprad, Slovakia, +3,6°C), in mountains in United Kingdom it was only +2,2°C (Cairngorm) and in northern Sweden around 400 MASL was frost, only -1,7°C (Bortnan). The coldest times are just ahead of us – during Wednesday, Thursday and Friday cold spell will hit almost all western Europe, northern and eastern Spain, Central Europe and Alps region. In the middle of summer we will alive untraditionally cold weather, cause in the region, after 1990 are cold summers (as a whole) thanks to global warming only rarely affairs.

Greenland pressure high hit wit cold blast during the next 3 days many parts of Europe. Cold and bright weather will be alternated by rainy and clody cold times with showers and torrential rain on low pressure system, linked with southerly shifted jet-stream.
During Wednesday, many parts of UK, France, Spain, Benelux and Germany are waiting really cold day, with anomalies -4/-8°C, in mountain regions -8/-16°C. The most coldest will be area from northern Spain across Pyrenees, southern France and Alps.

After transition of low pressure system can hit cold fresh clear nights.
Heatwaves can arrive little later, in front of deep cyclone over Atlantic
New outputs of GFS are telling, than colder weather can hold out in northern regions more longer, but good news are, that deep cyclone above Atlantic will be linked with robust advection of tropical air above Europe during 3rd decade of July- mainly around 22.-30. July 2020. Heavy heatwaves will suffer mainly Spain in the beggining, but gradually they will extend to France, Germany and eastern Central Europe. We have nothing left, but only to wait for a hot summer during the next and next cold days.
