Hi everyone!
I have already informed you about the crazy weather that my homeland, the Czech Republic (as well as most Europe) has been struggling with recently in THIS POST but unfortunately, it seems there is still no end in sight to the heatwave and all the related-phenomena.

For more than a week, we have have been dealing with temperatures of up to 38 °C (100 °F), an extreme drought and a significant risk of wild fires. Thousands of tons of fish have died in Czech rivers and lakes because of the heat and the lack of oxygen in the water.
Many Czech towns and villages have had to ban using tap water to water gardens and fill swimming pools as water is getting more and more scarce. Farmers have been counting damage to their crops caused by the extreme weather and they will have to ask the government for compensation.

According to the forecast, the devastating heatwave might last for up to another week so let us hope it will finally come to an end then. What is the situation in your countries, my fellow Steemians? Let me know in comments.
Please feel free to check out some of my other recent posts.

It's pretty much like you described here in Norway as well, except that we have had two days of rain about a week ago. This reduced the problems with wildfires a little bit, but it's still far away from being safe. It would be great to get a huge rain shower soon, but the weather forecast does not seem to agree :(

The same for us here in germany... in some regions it has not rained since eastern. Very harmful to the nature environment, but also to the poor farmers.
And i do not want to see my water bill... this will explode.
Have to water everyday the garden, my rain barrel is empty since weeks.
Perhaps i should do a rain dance. :-)

We're having the same issues in Austria right now. Still it's summer time so I guess it's not that unusual to have some heat!

That is a very bad news. You mean the heat wave is gonna last more. It has already destroyed vast forests around the world. Hope this gets over soon. I am sick and tired of it. Thanks for sharing.
