Europe Faces Deadly and Intense Heatwave CrisisTemperatures in France reached 40°C with school closures and rail disruptions as the heatwave worsens.
- Forty-nine French mainland departments are under red alert, up from 35 earlier in the weekend.
- Two young children were found dead in a car, with heatwave conditions considered a leading cause.
- Heat-related deaths occurred in the Gironde region where temperatures surpassed 40°C in June.
- France and Belgium limited rail services to prevent heat-induced breakdowns during peak hours.
The causes of death are yet to be determined, but the heatwave is the leading line of inquiry.— Hélène Mourges, the prosecutor in the town of Carpentras, said.
