The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) reported, this Saturday (27), that it recorded the highest temperature since measurements began in the 19th century.
"With 36.6°C north of Odense, we have the hottest day ever recorded since measurements began in 1874," said the DMI in a Facebook post, adding that "the day has not yet is over."
At least 193 million people across Europe, including 75 million in Germany, face temperatures above 35°C this Saturday due to a heat wave moving to the east of the continent, according to an analysis of data by AFP.

Heat wave in Europe
Europe is experiencing its second major heat wave in two months this week, and records fall in series.
Last Thursday (25), at least 101 million people faced temperatures above 35°C, and around two-thirds of the continent's population were above 30°C.
The United Kingdom recorded its hottest June day ever measured, 36.4°C.
France placed 54 departments on red alert and reached 44.3°C in the southwest. In Spain, the normally mild north coast reached 43.7°C.
The continent has become a kind of thermometer for the planet. Europe heats up about twice as fast as the global average, making it an involuntary laboratory for adaptation to extreme heat.
According to experts, the measures adopted over more than two decades - since the 2003 heat wave, which killed more than 70,000 people, the majority in France - help to show how far adaptation can protect the population and at what point it begins to fail.
