Summer reached its boiling point - literally - this past week across Western Europe. The United Kingdom s Met Office tweeted that London s Heathrow Airport reached 98.4 degrees (36.9 °C), a new record for July. While the heat in Cambridge, England, rose to 100.5 (38 °C)degrees. This marks only the second time triple-digit temperatures have been recorded in the United Kingdom.

上周，整個西歐的夏季達到了它的沸點。英國氣象局在推特上表示，倫敦希思羅機場氣溫達到98.4度(36.9攝氏度)，創(chuàng)下7月份的新紀錄。而英國劍橋的氣溫上升到了100.5度(38攝氏度)。這是英國第二次出現(xiàn)三位數(shù)的氣溫記錄。

The U.K. was only one of many countries to shatter records. Paris, France reported 108 degrees (42.6 °C), its highest temperature ever this week. Climate change has increased the likelihood and severity of heatwave episodes across Europe, the UK's national weather service said to the BBC. Residents have had to get creative to keep cool and keep themselves laughing despite the heat.

英國不是唯一一個打破高溫記錄的國家。法國巴黎報道稱，本周的最高氣溫為108度(42.6攝氏度)。英國國家氣象局(national weather service)對BBC表示，氣候變化增加了歐洲各地出現(xiàn)熱浪的可能性。居民們不得不開啟自己的腦洞想各種辦法來降溫，不讓自己被高溫打敗。
