What's more current than the weather?

The current episode has its origins in North Africa.
Spain and France, in particular, have borne the brunt of it this week and, from memory, I believe it was over 40C in Paris yesterday.
The strong southerly breeze didn't help. It was just like sitting in front of a giant hair drier at max heat.
It's 0330 here and there are a few rumbles of thunder and some light rain and it's still uncomfortably warm.

ETA. The temp in Paris yesterday reached 42.6C/108.7F
