France recorded its hottest summer since measurements began in 1900, with Météo-France reporting an average temperature of 24°C, 3.6°C above normal. The record-breaking season brought 53 days of heatwaves, rainfall nearly 40% below average and severe wildfire conditions across the country. A major blaze near Bordeaux forced around 250,000 people to evacuate, while extreme heat also contributed to significant health impacts. The record comes as much of Europe experiences increasingly severe heat, drought and wildfires, highlighting growing concerns over the continent's exposure to climate extremes. #france #franceheatwave #franceweather #hottestsummer #heatwave #climatechange #europe #europeheatwave #wildfires #drought #extremeheat #climatecrisis #2026 #globalwarming #meteofrance #europeclimate #francewildfires #heatrecord Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: 🌐 Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world 📱 Instagram: https://www.in
