France's first major heatwave blackout

The intense heatwave sweeping across Europe has caused a power outage affecting around 68,000 homes in northwestern France, due to a technical fault in an electrical transformer near Kimbé. More than 106,000 customers have been impacted by the wave, and power is expected to gradually be restored by the end of Wednesday as repair efforts continue. France experienced its highest daily temperatures on record, and authorities anticipate the impact of the heatwave to continue for now.
