CCTV News:France’s high temperature has repeatedly broken historical records this summer. On the 27th, the high temperature in four provinces was upgraded to a red warning, which was the first time since 2003, and another 78 provinces were in an orange warning state. According to another report, the French Meteorological Bureau placed the provinces of Rhone Estuary, Gar, Ero and Vauclu in the high-temperature red warning for the first time in 16 years, and the warning time was from 10 am on the 28th to 6 am on the 29th.
The French Meteorological Bureau said in the communique that the high temperature in the relevant areas will reach 42 to 45 degrees Celsius during this period, so the historical record of 44.1 degrees Celsius in France recorded on August 12, 2003 may be broken.

The previous record was 41.5 degrees Celsius recorded in Aude province on June 21, 2003. On the afternoon of 27th, Saint Julien-Depero La in Gar province first broke the record at 41.9 degrees Celsius, and then the temperature in Gros Pier Ray in Ardesh province reached a record high of 42 degrees Celsius.
