France's first major heatwave outage
The severe heatwave sweeping across Europe has caused a power outage affecting around 68,000 homes in northwestern France, due to a malfunction in an electrical transformer associated with high temperatures. The fault occurred near the town of Quimper in Brittany, and maintenance teams are working to repair it, with full reconnection expected not to happen before the end of the day. By Tuesday evening, up to 106,000 subscribers had been affected, amidst rising temperatures reaching 41°C in some areas, attributed to atmospheric patterns and climate changes.
