Every graph I see shows high average peak of 20-23 Degrees in July.

As you well know there's often a big difference between "average peak" value and "maximum" temperature.

I think your graph reflects average maximums not absolute maximums. According to my info Stockholm have had an absolute max of 36 C before. http://www.meteorologyclimate.com/extreme-temperature-records.htm

Average has nothing to do with this topic. Every summer there will be temperatures above 30 C in Sweden. It has been like that every year in the 50+ years that I have been there

Maybe Stockholm have 36 as max. But many other places have higher. Further south and inland will be warmer.

Lol, so a heat warning is a conspiracy with an underlying nefarious purpose!?!

Of course, the cost of chilling beer will increase hence beer will become more expensive, don't even begin to talk about ice cube costs, next!

It was 46c yesterday here in Phoenix, Arizona and probably 46c today. Now that's hot...

Bunch of pussies in Sweden or what? Don't even turn the fan on until 28/29C. Is a very comfortable temperature for the human species.

Each one of my 11 fingers covers 2-3 iPhone buttons & I'm flat out reading the text as well.....death must be imminent! & some would argue long overdue. I'm just looking forward to the cessation of taxation once riggamortus sets in.
