      Sunny summer skies greeted NASA’s Terra satellite as it passed over the   
      western portion of Europe on July 11, 2022, allowing the Moderate   
      Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board to acquire a   
      stunning true-color image of the region. This image captures parts of   
      Wales and England (north), France (center), Andorra, and Spain   
      (southwest).   
      
      A high-pressure system over portions of Europe has kept the skies   
      spectacularly clear and temperatures soaring. According to media   
      reports, on July 11 the Met Office advised that the mercury will soar   
      in central, southern, and eastern England over the next five days, with   
      highs predicted to reach as high as 35˚C (95˚F). On July 11, London   
      reported a high of 29.5˚C (85˚F). France is also expecting toasty   
      weather, or, as AccuWeather describes upcoming days, “hot with sizzling   
      sunshine”. Météo-France appears to agree, advising that temperatures   
      across France will begin to rise this week and stay unusually high for   
      at least 10 days, probably longer, with parts of the southwest and   
      Rhone Valley expected to see highs of 36-38˚C (96.8-100.4˚F). Sunny   
      Spain is also sweltering, with temperatures rising to 39.4˚C (103˚F) on   
      July 11 and, according to Weather Underground, expected to hit 40.5˚C   
      (105˚F) later this week.   
      
      The current heatwave follows a similar bout of extreme heat in June   
      2022. Striking mid-month, the June heatwave affected Portugal, Italy,   
      Spain, France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Poland. On June 17,   
      temperatures in London, England soared to 32˚C (89.6˚F) while   
      temperatures in Seville, Spain rose to 41˚C (105.8˚F).
