Several French regions issue red heat warnings as temperatures remain extremely high, prompting school closures. Reports say Paris records its hottest June night, with temperatures not falling below about 24.2°C. As the heat alert system escalates, schools close to reduce health risks for children and staff during the hottest periods of the day. The closures follow the spread of “red” heat alerts, which indicate the most severe level of the national warning scheme. While specific details vary by location, the common response described across outlets is the use of school shutdowns linked to the extreme temperatures. The warnings reflect concerns about heat-related illness as the heat persists into the night and stays above thresholds considered dangerous. Authorities urge the public to take precautions such as staying hydrated and limiting outdoor activity during peak heat hours, while affected schools remain closed for at least the duration of the alert period.
