France's heatwave reaches 1983 record levels
The heatwave that began in France at the end of July and has continued until now has become the longest in history, lasting 23 days and matching the duration of the July 1983 wave. Temperatures in some areas exceeded 20°C, with an average heat index reaching 24.7°C. This current heatwave is considered one of the most severe since 1947, with its intensity increasing after 2010 due to climate change caused by human activity. The August 2003 heatwave remains the most intense, combining both duration and severity. This wave is part of an exceptional phenomenon experienced by Europe and the Mediterranean region during the summer of 2026.
