PARIS – Temperatures in Paris went above 40°C for the third time in 75 years Tuesday as France grapples with the second straight day of a heatwave, according to the official weather service, Meteo France.
Temperatures in the capital reached 40.5°C.
The two other times when the mercury soared that high were on July 25, 2019, when the highest-ever temperature was recorded at 42.6°C, and 40.4°C on July 28, 1947.
Other cities and towns recording record temperatures were 41°C in Cayeux-sur-Mer, Dieppe in Normandy at 40.4°C, 39.9°C in Calais and Le Touquet, and 39.6°C in Boulogne-sur-Mer.
The weather is expected to moderate later Tuesday with storms, hailstorms, and intense rain in the Hautes-Pyrenees and Bearn region that will move to Toulouse, Dordogne, and Limousin.
The storm is forecast to move up Wednesday in the Center Val de Loire, the Paris basin, and west of Burgundy, bringing a dip in temperatures.
The southeastern region will still have temperatures between 33°C and 38°C. (Anadolu)

This is very scary most homes in the UK are not equipped for this They mostly won’t have air conditioning I feel anxious for the elderly.
The big issue is their houses are not built for the heat but for cold weather. Very hard to get air circulation and no air-conditioning

It’s nearly a danger for them as they are not supposed to experience that kind of temperature. I think it is all caused by global warming. We should now step in and fight them. Our world isn’t built for resources. We should keep in mind that what happens to earth is the consciousness of one another.
