It is very hot in Europe right now. Many places break heat records. Germany had 41.5 degrees one day. This happened in the town Drewitz. It is also very warm in Austria. Soon it can reach 40 degrees in Vienna. Experts say: This comes from climate change. Humans change the weather with smoke. Cities are very hot. Cities have much concrete and few trees. The heat brings many problems. Train tracks suffer from the sun. Fires burned on tracks in Stuttgart. Many trains stopped moving. Roads also break. The road surface cracks open. Experts call this a Blow-Up. Police help people in Berlin. They use water to spray fine mist. This cools people down in the city. Nature is also in danger. Forests are very dry. Fires start there very fast. Water in rivers gets too warm. This harms fish and plants. Bad storms may come on Sunday. Rain will be heavy and ice will fall. Some places have strong wind. It gets cooler on Monday. Temperatures drop below 30 degrees then.
