France Faces Intense and Early Heatwave

Meteorologist Cyril Wuest explains the 'heat dome' phenomenon trapping hot air over the country.

Auf einen Blick

  • France is experiencing an unusually early and intense heatwave due to a 'heat dome' phenomenon.
  • Hot air from the Sahara is trapped by high pressure, leading to self-amplifying heat, particularly affecting the northern half of the country.
