For many in the eastern and central U.S., the summer of 2013 has felt temperate – if not cool – after record heat in recent years. \
Those wondering where it’s been hot this summer need only look across the Atlantic.
Much of Europe sweated through its hottest July since 2006, and a resurgence of heat this week pushed temperatures up to 40 C (104 F) in Austria, Hungary, and Poland.

Extreme heat has also gripped Neighboring countries, stretching from Poland and the Czech Republic southward into the Balkans.

In Budapest, the thermometer fell shy of the 40 C mark, but may have still broken its all-time heat record of 39.4 C, writes Christopher Burt from Wunderground.
And farther south, Slovenia also broke its national high temperature record, as well as an all-time high in the capital, Ljubljana.
The city reportedly Broke its old heat record Five times in the Same week, as a maximum of 40.2 C (104.4 F) replaced the old record of 38.0 C (100.4 F) from 1935.

Western Europe: Less hot but July near Warmest on record


While the epicenter of Europe’s heat wave has been centered on Austria and Hungary, very warm weather also dominated the second half of July in Germany, France, and the UK.
