The national weather service, Météo-France, issued an Orange alert—the second-highest heat warning—urging residents to take precautions. This marks the 50th heatwave in France since records began in 1947, according to officials. Starting Thursday, 27 departments were placed under a yellow heat alert as temperatures climbed to between 32°C and 35°C (89.6°F–95°F) in the east. By Saturday, the heat intensified, with western France and inland Mediterranean areas reaching 34°C to 38°C (93.2°F–100.4°F). Météo-France warned that the extreme conditions pose risks to "everyone, even healthy people." Europe endured its hottest year on record in 2024, with heat-related deaths becoming a growing concern. In the summer of 2022, more than 60,000 people died across the continent due to extreme temperatures. Even in the comparatively cooler summer of 2023, heat claimed over 47,000 lives. Authorities are advising the public to stay hydrated, avoid direct sun exposure, and check on vulnerable individuals as the heatwave persists. Writing by Sibel Uygun
