Many countries in Europe have a big problem with heat. The weather is very hot, so governments are helping people stay safe.

歐洲許多國家正正面臨嚴重的高溫問題。天氣非常炎熱，因此政府正採取措施確保民眾安全。

Hot air from Africa is over Europe. In France, the weather is more than 40°C. The government closed 845 schools. They also stopped some trains because the tracks were too hot.

來自非洲的熱氣流正覆蓋歐洲。在法國，氣溫超過 40°C。政府關閉了 845 所學校。他們還停止了部分火車運行，因為軌道溫度過高。

Italy and Spain also have red alerts. The UK is very hot too. Some people died in the water in France and Germany. A tennis game in Berlin stopped because of big storms.

義大利和西班牙也發布了紅色警報。英國同樣非常炎熱。法國和德國有人在水中溺斃。柏林的一場網球賽事因強風暴而中止。

The leaders want to put air-conditioning in more buildings. This is because many people die from heat. Scientists say the earth is getting warmer, so this happens more often.

領導者希望在更多建築物中安裝空調。這是因為許多人死於高溫。科學家表示地球正在變暖，因此這種情況發生的頻率更高。

European leaders are still watching the weather. They want to keep people safe this week.

歐洲領導人仍在關注天氣狀況。他們希望本週能確保民眾安全。

Several European countries have started high-level emergency alerts and strict public health rules to deal with an intense heatwave occurring during the summer solstice.

數個歐洲國家已啟動高級緊急警報與嚴格的公共衛生規定，以應對夏至期間出現的強烈熱浪。

The current weather is caused by an 'African anticyclone,' which is a high-pressure system that has created a 'heat dome' over Western and Central Europe, trapping hot air from the Sahara. In France, the government placed about one-third of the country under a 'red alert' because temperatures were expected to rise above 40°C. To reduce the pressure on hospitals, the government banned drinking alcohol in public during the Fête de la Musique. Furthermore, 845 schools were closed, and officials increased the monitoring of water levels at nuclear power plants. The national rail company, SNCF, cancelled 71 intercity trains because the extreme heat could cause the rails to expand or power lines to fail.

目前的天氣是由一個「非洲反氣旋」引起的，這是一個在高壓系統於西歐與中歐製造了「熱穹頂」，將撒哈拉的熱空氣困在其中。在法國，政府將全國約三分之一的地區列為「紅色警報」，因為預計氣溫將升至 40°C 以上。為了減輕醫院壓力，政府禁止在「音樂節」期間於公共場合飲酒。此外，共有 845 所學校關閉，官員也加強了對核電廠水位的監控。國家鐵路公司 SNCF 取消了 71 班城際列車，因為極端高溫可能導致鐵軌膨脹或電力線失效。

Similar measures were taken across the continent. Italian authorities issued 'red flag' warnings for eight cities, including Milan and Turin, while Spain issued red alerts for the Basque Country and orange warnings for 13 other regions. In the United Kingdom, the Met Office issued an amber warning, as temperatures could reach 38°C and possibly break the June record from 1976. Consequently, these conditions caused several safety incidents, such as multiple drownings in France and Germany, and the evacuation of the Berlin Open tennis tournament due to severe thunderstorms.

整個歐洲大陸都採取了類似措施。義大利當局向包括米蘭與都靈在內的八個城市發出「紅旗」警告，而西班牙則向巴斯克地區發出紅色警報，並向另外 13 個地區發出橙色警告。在英國，氣象局發出了琥珀色警告，因為氣溫可能達到 38°C，甚至可能打破 1976 年 6 月的紀錄。因此，這些情況導致了數起安全事故，例如法國與德國發生多起溺水事件，以及柏林公開賽網球賽因嚴重雷陣雨而撤離。

European authorities will remain on high alert throughout the week as they manage damage to infrastructure and protect public health.

歐洲當局將在整個週內保持高度警戒，以處理基礎設施損壞並保護公眾健康。

Multiple European nations have activated high-level emergency alerts and restrictive public health measures in response to an intense heatwave coinciding with the summer solstice.

多個歐洲國家針對與夏至 coinciding 的強烈熱浪，啟動了高等級緊急警報與限制性公共衛生措施。

The current meteorological phenomenon is attributed to an 'African anticyclone,' a high-pressure system that has established a 'heat dome' over Western and Central Europe, trapping Saharan air masses. In France, the administration placed approximately one-third of the national territory—specifically 35 departments—under a 'red alert' status, with temperatures projected to exceed 40°C. To mitigate systemic strain on healthcare infrastructure, the government prohibited public alcohol consumption within these zones during the Fête de la Musique. Furthermore, the state mandated the closure of 845 educational institutions and intensified surveillance of nuclear reactor water supplies. The SNCF reported significant infrastructure vulnerability, resulting in the cancellation of 71 intercity trains due to the potential for rail expansion and power line failure.

目前的氣象現象歸因於「非洲反氣旋」，這是一個在高壓系統於西歐與中歐上空建立「熱穹頂」並困住撒哈拉氣團的現象。在法國，政府將全國約三分之一的領土（具體為 35 個省）列為「紅色警報」狀態，預計氣溫將超過 40°C。為了減輕醫療基礎設施的系統壓力，政府禁止在「音樂節」期間於這些區域內公開飲酒。此外，政府強制關閉 845 所教育機構，並強化對核電廠水源的監控。法國國家鐵路公司 (SNCF) 報告指出基礎設施存在顯著脆弱性，由於擔心鐵路膨脹與電線故障，導致 71 班城際列車被取消。

Parallel measures have been adopted across the continent. Italian authorities expanded 'red flag' warnings to eight cities, including Milan and Turin, while Spain's AEMET issued red alerts for the Basque Country and orange warnings for 13 other regions. In the United Kingdom, the Met Office issued an amber extreme heat warning, with projections suggesting temperatures could reach 38°C, potentially surpassing the 1976 June record. These conditions have precipitated various public safety incidents, including multiple drownings in France and Germany, and the evacuation of the Berlin Open tennis tournament due to concomitant severe thunderstorms.

整個歐洲大陸也採取了平行措施。義大利當局將「紅旗」警告擴展至包括米蘭與都靈在內的八個城市，而西班牙氣象局 (AEMET) 則向巴斯克地區發布紅色警報，並向另外 13 個地區發布橙色警告。在英國，氣象局發布了琥珀色極端高溫警告，預測氣溫可能達到 38°C，潛在地將超越 1976 年 6 月的紀錄。這些情況導致了多起公共安全事件，包括法國與德國的多起溺水事故，以及柏林公開賽網球賽因伴隨而來的嚴重雷陣雨而撤離。

Institutional responses emphasize long-term adaptation. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has directed ministers to evaluate the integration of air-conditioning systems to enhance national resilience. This urgency is underscored by data from the World Health Organization's Europe office, which attributes over 200,000 preventable heat-related fatalities across Europe over the preceding four years. Scientific consensus indicates that anthropogenic climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of such extreme thermal events.

機構回應強調長期適應。總理 Sébastien Lecornu 已指示部長評估整合空調系統以增強國家韌性。世界衛生組織歐洲辦事處的數據凸顯了此緊迫性，該數據將過去四年歐洲超過 20 萬宗可預防的高溫相關死亡歸因於此。科學共識指出，人為氣候變化正在增加此類極端熱事件的頻率與強度。

European authorities remain in a state of heightened alert as they manage infrastructure disruptions and public health risks through the current week.

歐洲當局在處理本週的基礎設施中斷與公共衛生風險期間，仍維持高度警戒狀態。
