Many places in Europe and North America had very hot weather. Many people died and buildings and roads broke.

歐洲與北美洲許多地區天氣非常炎熱。許多人因此死亡，建築物與道路也遭到損壞。

Europe was very hot. Germany and Poland had record high temperatures. In France, about 1,000 old people died because of the heat. The buildings in Europe are not made for this heat.

歐洲非常炎熱。德國與波蘭創下了氣溫新高。在法國，約有 1,000 名長者因高溫而死亡。歐洲的建築物並非為了應對這種高溫而設計。

Hot weather broke things in Germany. Roads melted and trains stopped. Some forests caught fire. Nuclear power plants in Hungary and Switzerland had to stop working because the river water was too warm.

炎熱的天氣導致德國許多設施損壞。道路融化，火車停駛。部分森林發生火災。匈牙利與瑞士的核電廠由於河水溫度過高而必須停止運作。

North America was also very hot. The USA had heat waves and dangerous fires. Three firefighters died in the West. Scientists say the earth is getting warmer because of people.

北美洲同樣非常炎熱。美國出現熱浪與危險的火災。西部有三名消防員殉職。科學家表示，地球溫度升高是由於人類活動所導致的。

Europe is a bit cooler now, but Central Europe and the Balkans are still very hot and dangerous.

歐洲現在稍微涼快了一些，但中歐與巴爾幹半島依然非常炎熱且危險。

A series of record-breaking heat waves has affected several continents, leading to high death rates, infrastructure failure, and environmental crises.

一系列打破紀錄的熱浪影響了數個大洲，導致死亡率上升、基礎設施失效及環境危機。

Europe has experienced a severe heat event caused by a 'heat dome,' which trapped hot air from North Africa over the continent. This phenomenon caused record temperatures, including 41.7°C in Germany and 40.5°C in Poland. The French Health Ministry reported that about 1,000 extra deaths occurred between June 24 and June 27, with 85% of these victims being people aged 65 and older. Furthermore, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated over 1,300 extra deaths across Europe since June 21, emphasizing that European infrastructure was not designed for such extreme heat.

歐洲經歷了一次由「熱穹頂」引起的嚴重高溫事件，將北非的熱空氣困在歐洲大陸之上。此現象導致溫度創紀錄，包括德國達到 41.7°C 及波蘭達到 40.5°C。法國衛生部報告指出，在 6 月 24 日至 6 月 27 日之間，約增加了 1,000 人死亡，其中 85% 的受害者為 65 歲或以上的長者。此外，世界衛生組織（WHO）估計自 6 月 21 日起，全歐洲增加了超過 1,300 人死亡，並強調歐洲的基礎設施並非為應對如此極端的高溫而設計。

These heat waves caused widespread disruptions to essential services. In Germany, melting asphalt forced the suspension of tram services in Leipzig, and the national railway advised against non-essential travel due to unstable tracks. Additionally, wildfires occurred in areas containing old World War II bombs, which made firefighting more dangerous. Energy production was also affected; Hungary's Paks nuclear plant had to reduce its output, and Switzerland's Beznau plant shut down its reactors because river temperatures were too high. In Italy, the Po River's low water levels allowed seawater to flow 18 kilometers inland, threatening local farming.

這些熱浪導致基本服務出現大範圍中斷。在德國，瀝青熔化迫使萊比錫的輕軌服務暫停，而國家鐵路局因軌道不穩定，建議民眾避免非必要行程。此外，部分地區發生山火，而該處含有二戰時期的舊炸彈，使得滅火工作更加危險。能源生產亦受影響；匈牙利的 Paks 核電廠不得不減產，而瑞士的 Beznau 電廠則因河水溫度過高而關閉反應爐。在義大利，波河（Po River）水位過低，導致海水倒灌入內陸 18 公里，威脅當地農業。

At the same time, North America faced extreme heat. The National Weather Service predicted a widespread heat wave across the central and eastern United States, with heat indices expected to reach 115°F. This happened alongside deadly wildfires in the West, which killed three firefighters near the Colorado-Utah border. Meanwhile, a study by World Weather Attribution concluded that these extreme temperatures would have been almost impossible without human-caused climate change, noting that such conditions are now 200 times more likely than they were twenty years ago.

與此同時，北美面臨極端高溫。美國國家氣象局預測，美國中部與東部將出現大範圍熱浪，體感溫度預計將達到 115°F。與此同時，西部發生致命山火，在科羅拉多州與猶他州邊界附近導致三名消防員喪生。同時，World Weather Attribution 的一項研究結論指出，若非人類引起的氣候變遷，這些極端溫度幾乎不可能發生，並指出目前出現此類狀況的可能性是 20 年前的 200 倍。

Although temperatures are slowly dropping in Western Europe, the extreme heat is moving toward Central Europe and the Balkans, which means the risk of system failures remains high.

雖然西歐的溫度正緩慢下降，但極端高溫正移向中歐與巴爾幹半島，這意味著系統失效的風險仍然很高。

A series of record-breaking heat waves has affected multiple continents, resulting in significant mortality rates, infrastructure failure, and environmental crises.

一系列打破紀錄的熱浪影響了多個大洲，導致死亡率顯著上升、基礎設施失效以及環境危機。

The European theater has experienced a profound thermal event characterized by the presence of a 'heat dome' or 'omega block,' which trapped North African air masses over the continent. This phenomenon precipitated unprecedented temperature peaks, including a provisional high of 41.7°C in Germany and 40.5°C in Poland, the latter surpassing a century-old record. The French Health Ministry reported a surge in mortality, with approximately 1,000 excess deaths recorded between June 24 and June 27; 85% of these fatalities occurred in individuals aged 65 and older. The World Health Organization (WHO) further estimated over 1,300 excess deaths across Europe since June 21, attributing the severity of the event to the fact that European infrastructure was not engineered for such thermal extremes.

歐洲地區經歷了一場深遠的熱事件，其特徵是出現了「熱穹」或「歐米茄阻塞」，將北非的氣團困在歐洲大陸之上。此現象導致溫度達到前所未有的高峰，包括德國暫定最高溫 41.7°C 與波蘭 40.5°C，後者打破了一世紀的紀錄。法國衛生部報告死亡人數激增，在 6 月 24 日至 6 月 27 日之間記錄了約 1,000 例超額死亡；其中 85% 的死亡者為 65 歲或以上的人士。世界衛生組織 (WHO) 進一步估計，自 6 月 21 日起歐洲有超過 1,300 例超額死亡，並將事件的嚴重性歸因於歐洲的基礎設施並非為此類極端高溫而設計。

Systemic disruptions were widespread. In Germany, the melting of asphalt and bitumen necessitated the suspension of tram services in Leipzig, while Deutsche Bahn issued advisories against non-essential travel due to track instability. Environmental hazards intensified as heat-induced wildfires occurred in regions containing unexploded World War II ordnance, complicating suppression efforts. Additionally, thermal stress impacted energy production, forcing the reduction of output at Hungary's Paks nuclear plant and the shutdown of reactors at Switzerland's Beznau plant due to elevated river temperatures. In Italy, the Po River's diminished flow permitted seawater intrusion 18 kilometers inland, threatening agricultural viability.

系統性中斷情況普遍。在德國，柏油與瀝青的熔化導致萊比錫的輕軌服務必須暫停，而德國鐵路 (Deutsche Bahn) 則因路軌不穩定，發布建議避免非必要旅行。由於在含有二戰未爆彈的地區發生了熱誘發的山火，使撲救工作複雜化，環境風險進一步加劇。此外，熱壓力影響了能源生產，迫使匈牙利 Paks 核電廠削減產量，而瑞士 Beznau 電廠的反應爐則因河流溫度升高而關閉。在義大利，波河流量減少導致海水向內陸入侵 18 公里，威脅農業生存。

Simultaneously, North America entered a period of extreme thermal stress. The National Weather Service forecast a widespread heat wave across the central and eastern United States, with heat indices projected to reach 115°F. This event coincided with lethal wildfires in the West, resulting in the deaths of three firefighters near the Colorado-Utah border. In Europe, a rapid study by World Weather Attribution concluded that such thermal anomalies would have been virtually impossible without anthropogenic climate change, noting that the current conditions are 200 times more likely than they were two decades ago.

與此同時，北美洲進入了極端熱壓力時期。美國國家氣象局預測美國中部與東部將出現 widespread 的熱浪，熱指數預計將達到 115°F。此事件與西部地區致命的山火同時發生，導致科羅拉多州與猶他州邊界附近三名消防員殉職。在歐洲，World Weather Attribution 的一項快速研究結論指出，若非人為氣候變遷，此類熱異常幾乎不可能發生，並指出目前的情況比二十年前的可能性高出 200 倍。

While Western Europe is experiencing a gradual thermal decline, the extreme heat is shifting toward Central Europe and the Balkans, maintaining a high risk of systemic instability.

雖然西歐正經歷逐漸的溫度下降，但極端高溫正向中歐與巴爾幹半島轉移，系統性不穩定的風險依然很高。
