Europe suffers from record heat

125

Europe is very hot now. In Germany it gets 41 degrees on Friday. This is a new record for June. France and England have new records too. In London it is 23 degrees at night. Experts call this a heat dome. Hot air stays over a place for a long time.

The heat changes the daily life. Schools close early. Sports events do not happen. Hamburg cancels a big run. The train offers free cancellations. People cannot grill in some places. The fire risk in forests is high.

Shops sell many cooling machines. Fans are very popular. Mobile air conditioners are popular too. People buy summer clothes. The shops expect supply shortages soon. This means: There are not enough machines for everyone. The companies make more money.
