France's third-longest heatwave occurred
France experienced its third-longest recorded heatwave in 2026, lasting 16 days in July, equaling other heatwaves in 2003, 2018, and 2025, according to the French Meteorological Service. The longest heatwave in the country was in July 1983, lasting 23 days, followed by a 21-day heatwave in 2006. This marks the 54th heatwave since record-keeping began in 1947, occurring in the context of the increasing impacts of climate change, which intensify heat and drought conditions across Europe.
