France’s Deadly Heatwave Hits Europe

France is in crisis as a record-breaking heatwave claims 40 lives from drownings as people seek relief in rivers, with temperatures hitting 85.6°F — the hottest day ever recorded. Across Europe, cities bake under 90°F+ heat, forcing iconic landmarks to shorten hours and museums to close early. Authorities have banned alcohol in public under a red alert, especially ahead of a major festival, while scientists blame climate change for intensifying these deadly extremes. Schools shut, trains cancel, and red warnings blaze across Italy, Spain, and even London — a continent-wide emergency unfolding as heat records fall faster than ever.
