Summary
France recorded its hottest day ever on Tuesday, with the national thermal indicator hitting a record 29.8°C (85.6°F), as an early heat wave swept across Europe. The extreme temperatures prompted the Eiffel Tower and Louvre museum to restrict visiting hours, disrupted school and transportation schedules in multiple countries, and led weather agencies in France, the UK, and Spain to issue red alerts warning tens of millions of people about the risks of extreme heat. The conditions were expected to persist at least until the weekend.
