    In 2011 we had 51 days over 100 degrees. I guess you guys over there are a bit more sensative to the heat.

    I read a but of the article and blaming rain on a heat wave is pretty weak.

    But the article doesn't say that.

    It blamed the death by rain on the heat.

    Several deaths have occurred as a result of the heat, including a woman in the Italian Alps whose car was washed down a mountain after the heatwave triggered storms.

    Heat does drive storms.

    Rain lowers heat. I can see blaming it on weather but not heat.

    You are claiming that heat doesn't drive storms?

    Do you agree that storms are driven by heat?

    Only by extreme heat? No

    But your claim that the article's statement that the heatwave across parts of Europe is triggering storms, is weak, must be based on some scientific knowledge or insight....surely?

    Does it never rain in Europe unless there is a heat wave?

    Of course it does, but we are not discussing the frequency of rain; we are discussing your basis for claiming that it is a weak position to state that a heatwave has triggered storms...

    Have you never read up on weather at school, how increased heat energy will increase the likelihood of storm activity. For someone who claims to have been a teacher, you don't seem to be very well informed on the basics.
