less snow in winter (not that there was much to begin with), much warmer in april and september, slightly more precipitation and warmer summer nights are the obvious ones. the only months that have remained relatively unchanged are june and october.

Early August 1975 wasn't one for the faint-hearted in AC-free Stockholm's UHI

Mto climat stats | Relevs en Aot 1975 Stockholm

3: 28.6/16.7 = 22.7
4: 31.1/17.6 = 24.4
5: 31.6/19.2 = 25.4
6: 35.4/20.3 = 27.9
7: 35.0/22.4 = 28.7
8: 34.4/20.3 = 27.4
9: 31.4/20.6 = 26.0
10: 29.6/16.1 = 22.9
11: 29.8/19.3 = 24.6

If Ariete is watching how was that month in Helsinki/Turku?

That's pretty insane though for a sun angle below 47 degrees on Aug 7 to record a 28.7 daily mean Sounds like something normally only happening in desert/chinook North American places!

What's even more insane though is that even with that monster heat wave, the avg temps of the month landed at 24.5/15.4 = 20C, which is not an August record

I think so, it doesn't look like it could get any more Med than that inside Russia's current borders. During the Soviet era they probably had a few in Azerbaijan.

Eureka during the 2012 North American heat wave, legendary stuff

Mto climat stats | Relevs en Juillet 2012 Eurka

As the interior was boiling over Eureka recorded a max July high of 18.3 C! Not that uncommon for Eureka, it's just that 2012 wasn't an ordinary year...
