Europe is facing warmer-than-usual weather for a second month after temperatures soared in a July heat wave, boosting power prices in the region’s biggest market.
Germany may be as much as 8 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than average on some days through Aug. 10, Andreas Gassner, a meteorologist at Meteomedia AG in Gais, Switzerland, said July 30 by e-mail. MetraWeather, Deutscher Wetterdienst and MDA Information Systems Inc. also predicted hot weather in most of Europe for this month, while WSI Corp. and MeteoGroup U.K. Ltd. said the warm spell will end.
