Slovakia has reached a new all-time heat record

Europe is experiencing some heat now, and all kinds of records are being broken as we speak. Now Slovakia has recorded its all-time heat record, as reported by Yahoo and YLE.

Temperature in Slovakia soared to 41 degrees Celsius on Monday, in the south-eastern part of the country near the Hungarian border. The previous record was set in 2007, when the temperature rose to 40.3 degrees Celsius.

The 40-degree heatwave that has been sweltering across Europe, has been moving east since the beginning of the week. The ongoing heatwave is the hottest ever recorded in Europe.
