France is experiencing a historic heatwave.

On June 23, the French Meteorological Agency continued to maintain a red alert – the highest level of warning – for 54 localities, while 35 others were placed on an orange alert. Many areas recorded temperatures between 40 and 43 degrees Celsius, while nighttime temperatures remained very high.

According to the French Meteorological Agency, this is an exceptionally intense, prolonged, and unusually early heatwave. In response to the extreme weather conditions, the French authorities have implemented a series of emergency measures.

Over 1,300 schools have been forced to close or adjust their schedules. Popular tourist attractions in Paris, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum, have also announced early closures. Many train services have been disrupted due to infrastructure damage caused by the extreme heat. Local authorities have opened additional public cooling centers and increased support for the elderly, the homeless, and other vulnerable groups.
