Cooler weather and potential rain move into the French region torched by wildfires

Cooler temperatures, higher humidity, and a forecast for rain are bringing potential relief to southwestern France, where wildfires have been burning for several weeks. Firefighters in the region, including the area of Lege-Cap Ferret, are hopeful that the shift in weather conditions will assist in containment efforts.

The fires have caused significant damage, scorching an area four times the size of Paris. The arrival of moisture is expected to aid emergency crews as they continue to battle the blazes that have impacted the parched landscape.
