It gets very hot in Europe this week. Experts wait for temperatures up to 41 degrees. The sun shines bright on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. It does not cool down at night in big towns. People call this Tropen-Nächte. The heat stays inside the houses. It is hard to let fresh air inside.
The heat hurts farmers in the Schweiz. Many fields are very dry. Salad rots on the fields. Potatoes and corn grow slowly. Farmers must water plants more often. This costs much money for water and power. People can buy less vegetables. Vegetables in shops will cost more money soon.
It gets very warm in Austria too. The temperature goes up to 38 degrees in Vorarlberg. It rains too little. A short rain does not help the dry ground. Nature needs long rain. Cool weather comes in August. The danger for forest fires stays high until then.
