France is preparing for a heatwave, with temperatures that can reach 40 degrees Celsius in 26 departments, including the Paris area. The national meteorological service has issued orange code warnings, and authorities are monitoring the situation, providing recommendations to protect the population, especially vulnerable individuals. In schools, several educational institutions in Paris and Toulouse have decided to reduce class hours in the afternoon, and the Baccalaureate exams may be rescheduled to avoid extreme conditions. Additionally, the railway company SNCF has canceled 71 trains to prevent issues caused by the heat. This heatwave episode is the second in recent weeks and coincides with similar forecasts in other European countries, such as Spain and the United Kingdom. Experts warn that such phenomena are becoming increasingly frequent.
