Temperatures in Central Europe soared to\u00a0extreme levels again\u00a0on Wednesday with Slovakia and Austria both having their\u00a0hottest day on record.<\/p>\n

For Slovakia, it was also the third time this summer that temperatures reached a record high. The country\u2019s south recorded temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) in the latest heat wave, with a new record of 41.4 C (106.5 F) in the town of Kamenica nad Hronom in southern Slovakia, the Slovak Meteorological Institute said.<\/p>\n

The previous records were set on two days \u2014 June 29 and June 30 \u2014 with 41.0 C (105.8 F) in the town of Turna nad Bodvou, and 41.3 C (106.3 F) in Kamenica nad Hronom.<\/p>\n

That smashed a 2007 high of 40.3 C (104.5 F) in the town of Hurbanovo.<\/p>\n

The night of Tuesday into Wednesday was also the hottest on record, with 28.4 degrees Celsius (83 F) in the town of Skalica in southwestern Slovakia.<\/p>\n

In Austria, the all-time high of 41.2 C (106.1 F) was measured in Bad Deutsch-Altenburg near the border with Slovakia, beating a 41.0 C (105.8 F) record from the previous day, the GeoSphere meteorological service said.<\/p>\n

The Czech Republic and Hungary had also recorded their all-time highs earlier this summer.<\/p>\n

This year, Europe has been sweltering under an\u00a0exceptionally hot\u00a0and arid summer, with\u00a0tinderbox conditions\u00a0setting off unprecedented fires that have forced hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate homes and vacation spots.<\/p>\n

The continent is the world\u2019s fastest-warming, with temperatures increasing twice as fast as the global average since the 1980s, according to the European Union\u2019s Copernicus Climate Change Service.<\/p>\n
