The high anomallies in sea surface temperatures have not moved from the
west to the east of the Mediterranean. France is getting the high
temperatures
but Greece seems to have escaped them so far. It will be interesting to
see what happens in August.

Cheers, Alastair.

I recall the 1995 summer where the Mediterranean SST's gave about the same
image as it is now.
High anomalies concentrated around Italy in the Ionean sea and Thyrenean
Sea.
It brought heavy storms during the late summer in Southern Italy.

I like Philip's (not the) forecast for August, it could be a very
interesting August in SE Europe if the flow is mainly anticyclonic over N
Europe.
