Summary
A wildfire erupted south of Paris, devouring 800 hectares and forcing highway closures and evacuations—just as France kicked off its peak summer vacation. Aerial firefighting planes, deployed for the first time in the region, helped contain the blaze as temperatures soared amid Europe’s third heatwave this month. Scientists link these extreme conditions to climate change, which has also triggered nuclear plant shutdowns and shortened the Tour de France. With forest fires already burning 17,000 hectares this year—double last year’s total—the crisis underscores how climate change is reshaping daily life, travel, and safety across the continent.
