Temperatures to exceed 40C in European heatwave as three die in France
• A severe heatwave has struck Europe, with temperatures expected to exceed 40°C and resulting in three deaths in France due to heat-related health issues. • The extreme weather has forced nearly 2,700 French schools to close or modify schedules, while Spain's Labour Ministry is monitoring company compliance with laws regarding adjusted working hours during red and orange alerts. • Wildlife is also suffering; biologist Romaine de Jaegere reports that roof temperatures reaching 60°C have forced birds to abandon nests, leading to 150 animals being admitted to a Belgian refuge in three days.
