Summer reached its boiling point - literally - this past week across Western Europe. The United Kingdom’s Met Office tweeted that London’s Heathrow Airport reached 98.4 degrees (36.9°C), a new record for July. While the heat in Cambridge, England, rose to 100.5 (38°C) degrees. This marks only the second time triple-digit temperatures have been recorded in the United Kingdom. If you're not familiar with the British summer - its usual average temperatures are around 64.4 (18°C) degrees throughout the hottest month of July. So if those from Texas like to scoff at the seemingly low tolerance that the British have for heat, remember that these weather conditions are far from what they're used to.

The U.K was only one of many countries to shatter extreme weather records. Paris, France reported 108 degrees (42.6°C), its highest temperature ever this week. "Climate change has increased the likelihood and severity of heatwave episodes across Europe," the UK's national weather service said to the BBC. Residents have had to get creative to keep cool and keep themselves laughing despite the devilishly hot summer. Scroll down below to check out some hot weather memes to enjoy next to a fan while you're enduring this meteorology phenomenon, and don't forget to upvote your favs!

My cat was actually outside when I kept calling her she just ignored me and carried on enjoying the 38°C with no breeze and utter humidity. She loved it. (she drank loads of water with ice cubes in it, which makes it have a "normal" temperature don't worry she was hydrated)

Nice to know there's one place on my body that I didn't sweat from during this heatwave

If he had tea in a flask and a packet of egg sarnies, then he'd really be British.

The fountain’s probably managed by the same kind of evil people who install bird spikes in trees. Bastards.

The city of London that cuts the water from fountains and causing pigeons boil from within to conserve water during the heatwave and then there's this guy.

if you raise your body temperature by drinking hot beverage you help yourself to tolerate the heat

Have you never seen anyone sweat through shirts before?? I agree this is super gross but the seat would still be sweaty if he was wearing a shirt

Just fascinating how most men seem unencumbered by societal pressure. Good for him. Except... this also explains why some men who are clearly not particularly overly attractive get furious at being rejected by women they selected only for their beauty.

This is why I would like him (or any person, man or woman or whatever) to wear a shirt in public transport, not because it wouldn't be 'decent' (because I don't really care about that, I'll just look the other way ;-) ). A shirt won't keep al the sweat from getting on the chair, but at least some of it, and most skin particles etc. I'm not a super-overhygienic person, but yucky.

Oh calm down everyone. He has no shirt on, big whoop-di-doo. It doesn't look like he's overly sweaty or anything, who cares.

and you guys are either a) immune or b) have AIR con almost everywhere. In the UK? Only the businesses have air con. Trains, Trams, Underground and Buses don't even have their windows open most of the time (underground doesnt count here) never mind air con.

London was full of men titties on Wednesday to be honest. It was so hot, so they freed the nipples.

The summers always make me wanna go out and buy a car. How trains can be allowed to operate without AC is beyond me.
