Approaching the hottest summer on record in UK and Europe

This is a photo of a dog trainer showing us how the dogs herd the sheep. I am using it as an example of the record setting heat and lack of rain in the UK and Europe this summer. The photo was taken the highlands of Scotland. In our time there e could have expected several rainy days.  A few years ago we went during the same period and got regularly drenched. During our two weeks there this year it did not rain a drop and the temperatures were just plain hot. Ordinarily this field would be bright green.  As it was thins were growing increasingly brown.
