A second heatwave has hit France, with temperatures soaring above 30°C in most regions. The Île-de-France and Centre-Val-de-Loire areas experienced the highest peak of intense heat, prompting orange alerts.

The Southeast also experienced high temperatures. However, the heatwave is not considered exceptional.

It is crucial for people to be aware of the health risks associated with extreme heat, as 175,000 Europeans die each year due to heat-related causes. Heat records have been broken in several cities, including Pissos, Cazaux, Niort, and Clermont-Ferrand.

Not only is Europe affected, but countries like Greece, Japan, and Morocco have also experienced record-breaking temperatures. July has been declared the second hottest month in Europe.

The late heatwave poses challenges for the start of the school year, with temperatures reaching up to 37°C in Poitiers.
