Well, not literally. This week in Europe, temperatures have hit records highs and the cities are not handling the change well. The heat could get up to 108 degrees, making it the hottest year on record. As one meteorologist put it, “Hell is coming.”

While their methods of beating the heat might be hilarious and efficient, hopefully everyone is taking proper precautions to survive the excessive heat this week. At least this is a good reason to eat all the ice cream you can in the next few days!
