35 Photos Of Europeans Trying To Survive The Heatwave Without Fully Melting

If you haven’t heard, Europe is currently melting.

The UK just recorded its highest ever June temperature while France registered its hottest day since records began. Schools are closed, people have resorted to sleeping outside because their homes have turned into ovens, and folks on social media are frying eggs on their balconies in the glaring sun.

Below, we’ve rounded up photos of how everyone is coping during this brutal heatwave. Scroll down to see how it’s going out there. And remember to stay hydrated.

I'm bored of seeing people saying "buy an air con unit" when they cost more money than most people have spare. I've used some old laminate underlay on the outside of my south facing window - the foil reflects the sun and the foam stops the glass ever heating up. It should help me keep the heat down during the day, plus I can still crack the window at night as it is stuck to the frame rather than the window itself. This stuff costs £20 from B&Q and you'll just need some gaffer tape to put it on. Hope this helps someone!
