A severe heat wave is affecting parts of Europe, with France being particularly impacted. The country has taken measures to mitigate the effects of the heat, including restricting public drinking and outdoor sports. As a result of the heat wave, various events have been canceled, such as concerts and sports events, and train services have also been disrupted.

Unfortunately, there have been reports of multiple drownings as people attempt to cool off in available water sources. Further details about the heat wave and its effects on France and other parts of Europe are available from KPRC 2 Houston / Click2Houston.
