A severe heatwave across Europe has caused several deaths and forced France and the United Kingdom to introduce emergency measures.

全歐洲的嚴重熱浪已導致數人死亡，並迫使法國與英國採取緊急措施。

In France, the heat crisis has resulted in several tragic deaths. In Carpentras, two young children were found dead in a car parked in a garage, and officials believe the heatwave was the main cause. Additionally, three elderly people died in the Bordeaux region. The impact on society has been significant, with over 1,350 schools closing and red alerts issued for more than half of the country's departments, affecting about 39 million people. Furthermore, 13 people drowned while trying to cool down in water without supervision.

在法國，熱浪危機導致了數起悲劇性死亡。在卡爾佩特拉斯，兩名幼童被發現死在停放在車庫的車內，官員認為熱浪是主因。此外，波爾多地區有三名長者死亡。對社會的影響顯著，超過 1,350 間學校停課，且超過一半的省份發布了紅色警報，影響約 3,900 萬人。此外，有 13 人在無人監督的情況下嘗試入水消暑而溺斃。

At the same time, the UK Met Office issued a rare red warning, which is the highest level of alert, as temperatures were expected to reach 40°C. This warning indicates a serious risk to life and could lead to the shutdown of essential services, such as trains and roads. In England and Wales, temperatures were predicted to stay above 37°C for several days; consequently, some schools ended their days early and people had to change their daily routines.

與此同時，英國氣象局發布了罕見的紅色警告（最高等級警報），因為預計氣溫將達到 40°C。此警告表示對生命有嚴重風險，並可能導致火車與道路等必要服務停運。在英格蘭與威爾斯，預計氣溫將在數日內維持於 37°C 以上；因此，部分學校提前放學，民眾也必須改變日常生活作息。

From a scientific point of view, experts emphasize that these weather events are caused by human-driven climate change. Researchers from the University of Reading asserted that human activity has acted as a catalyst, making these heatwaves more frequent and intense. This is supported by Meteo-France, which reported that the average temperature for June reached a record high of 29.2°C.

從科學角度來看，專家強調這些天氣現象是由人類引起的氣候變遷所導致。雷丁大學的研究人員斷言，人類活動起到了催化作用，使得這些熱浪變得更頻繁且更劇烈。法國氣象局亦支持此觀點，並報告 6 月的平均氣溫達到創紀錄的高溫 29.2°C。

The region remains under high-level weather alerts as authorities continue to manage the public health and transport challenges caused by the extreme heat.

由於當局持續處理由極端高溫引起的公共衛生與交通挑戰，該地區仍處於高層級天氣警報之中。
