Over 300 Drownings in France Heatwaves
A report indicates that France recorded more than 300 drowning cases during this summer, a significant increase compared to the previous year. The main reason is attributed to the repeated heatwaves that swept across Europe. Temperatures exceeding 40°C led to a 14% rise in drowning incidents, with many accidents occurring in unlicensed or unmonitored areas. Authorities also warned about individuals swimming under dangerous conditions, as the death toll reached over 142 by mid-July. This comes amid ongoing heatwaves that have caused droughts and multiple wildfires.
