France July 2026: Warmest and Third Driest
France experienced its highest temperatures since record-keeping began in 1900 during July 2026, with an average of 24.9°C, surpassing previous records. This led to heatwaves lasting more than two weeks, along with a significant reduction in rainfall of approximately 70%, making the month the third hottest and driest in the country's history. These conditions caused disastrous effects on agriculture and triggered widespread wildfires, including a massive blaze in southwestern France. Expectations are for high temperatures to persist and for heatwaves to recur in the coming months.
