STORYLINE:
Visitors to the Eiffel Tower without tickets were told to postpone their visits on Tuesday in Paris, as the summit of the city’s landmark was closed until Thursday.
In France, the national weather agency Météo-France placed several departments under the highest red alert, with the Paris region particularly hard hit.
The heat wave, defined as consecutive days of very high temperature, is expected to intensify Tuesday with more than 1,300 schools set to be partially or fully closed, the Education Ministry said.
Météo-France also warned of the heightened risk of wildfires due to the drought-stricken soil, compounded by a lack of rain in June and the recent surge in temperature.
Climate experts warn that future summers are likely to be hotter than any recorded to date. By 2100, France could be up to 4 C (39 F) warmer, with temperatures exceeding 40 C expected every year and extreme heat spikes potentially reaching 50 C (122 F).
According to Météo-France, the country may face a tenfold increase in the number of heat wave days by 2100.
