Germany and Czech Republic Set New All-Time Heat Records

Germany has officially recorded its hottest day ever, with temperatures soaring to 41.5 degrees Celsius.

The preliminary measurement from the German Meteorological Institute (DWD) surpassed the previous record of 41.3 degrees, set just one day earlier in Saarbrücken. This latest figure, recorded at an eastern German weather station, highlights the extreme heat gripping the region.

The Czech Republic has also experienced record-breaking temperatures, reaching 40.6 degrees Celsius at a weather station north of Prague. The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (CHMU) noted that temperatures were still slightly rising, suggesting the final measurement might be even higher. The previous Czech record stood at 40.4 degrees.

Other European nations are also grappling with the intense heat. Denmark reported a national record of 37.0 degrees Celsius on Saturday. Meanwhile, Austria registered its highest-ever June temperature, with a reading of 38.7 degrees Celsius in the afternoon, narrowly breaking the previous record of 38.6 degrees.
