While weather in the first part of the summer has been generally unstable, western Europe is now affected by the first heatwave of the year.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: While weather in the first part of the summer has been generally unstable, western Europe is now affected by the first heatwave of the year. This Natural Colour Image, captured by the OLCI (Ocean Land and Colour Instrument) of a Sentinel-3 satellite on 19 July, shows the Iberian peninsula and southern France with clear skies almost everywhere, because of the high pressure condition and strong solar radiation that have prevailed over the area for about a week. As a consequence, in the last few days, parts of southern Portugal and southwestern Spain have recorded very high temperatures, over 40°C, in some areas. The Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission is composed of two twin satellites, Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B, that both include the Ocean and Land Colour Imager (OLCI ) in their instrument payloads. One of the main application of OLCI is related to atmospheric monitoring, including the possibility to derive the Illumination condition of the observed area or to measure the downwelling solar radiation at the Earth’s surface and top-of-atmosphere.
