Britain has registered its hottest ever temperature as a heatwave passes across western Europe. Temperatures are still rising and have passed 40 degrees Celsius in the UK for the first time ever.

Professor Mikhail Chester is Director of the Metis Center for Infrastructure and Sustainable Engineering at Arizona State University in Phoenix in the US. There, temperatures can reach up to 47 degrees Celsius. He told Newsday: 鈥淚nfrastructure is ultimately designed with the environment in mind鈥� but the UK is 鈥渦nder-designed for the heat that we鈥檙e experiencing today let alone the temperatures that we鈥檙e forecasting into the future鈥�the question鈥�is how much can we retrofit?鈥�
