Meanwhile, in NW Russia, eg St Petersburg, temperatures will probably

Where on earth would be the source for such hot weather in that location??

That huge land mass to the south, presumably.
Given the right wind direction and suitably hot air from
far to the south I can imagine it could get pretty hot up
there. Don't temps sometimes get to 30C in Siberia in
mid-summer?
Still, above 35C that far north in late May seems
pushing it a little.....
