France recorded its highest single temperature since records began during a heat wave that brought triple-digit readings across several European countries. Officials closed the Eiffel Tower early in response to the extreme conditions. The same heat contributed to dozens of deaths in Europe, many from drowning.
Authorities in multiple countries issued heat warnings and opened cooling centers. Emergency services responded to increased calls for medical assistance. France's previous temperature record stood for decades before the latest reading surpassed it.
