weather forecast

The latest global weather forecasts for late July and early August 2025 indicate notable regional patterns. In Europe, a cooler wave is bringing below-normal temperatures to northern and eastern areas, while central, southern, and western Europe remain warmer than average. Rainfall is concentrated in northern UK, Scandinavia, and the Alps, with drier conditions for much of the continent and a strong risk of heatwaves returning later in the month[1].

In North America, July is seeing a dynamic jet stream. The eastern United States is experiencing a cooler trend, especially as broad low-pressure areas drive down temperatures. Central, northern, and western areas, however, are under a warm airmass, and southeastern states are expecting more rainfall due to persistent low pressure[2]. Canada’s north remains under a broad low, promoting cooler conditions, while the west stays warmer.

Global seasonal forecasts for July–September 2025 project above-normal temperatures for most regions between 60°S and 60°N, though neutral El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) conditions persist. Probability for below-normal rainfall is elevated along the equatorial Pacific, with near-normal rainfall expected near the date line. Specific regions—such as eastern Europe, western Central Asia, and parts of Africa—are projected to have increased chances of dry conditions for this period[3].

Regional updates also note active weather systems:

  • A cold front is arriving in South Africa on Wednesday, July 30, bringing showers, substantially colder conditions to the west, and windy weather in the interior. Impact-based warnings include damaging winds for the southwest and west, with heightened fire risks in the Eastern Cape[6].
  • Current temperature snapshots include: Washington DC at 85°F with passing clouds, New York at 89°F and clear, London at 63°F, Tokyo at 90°F, and Dubai and Doha both at 95°F[5].
