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，整个西欧的夏季达到了它的沸点。英国气象局在推特上表示，伦敦希思罗机场气温达到98.4度(36.9摄氏度)，创下7月份的新纪录。而英国剑桥的气温上升到了100.5度(38摄氏度)。这是英国第二次出现三位数的气温记录。

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.

英国不是唯一一个打破高温记录的国家。法国巴黎报道称，本周的最高气温为108度(42.6摄氏度)。英国国家气象局(national weather service)对BBC表示，气候变化增加了欧洲各地出现热浪的可能性。居民们不得不开启自己的脑洞想各种办法来降温，不让自己被高温打败。
