Europe 1 source 1 country 🔦 Under-reported 24m ago

The French Ministry of Ecology has estimated that the extreme heatwaves and record drought experienced throughout the country this summer will reduce France's annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 0.1 percentage points. The report attributes this economic impact to the widespread environmental challenges that have persisted across the nation during the current season.

Simultaneously, weather authorities are monitoring an intense heat dome affecting the region, which is expected to reach its peak on Thursday and Friday. Temperatures are forecasted to climb as high as 42-43 degrees Celsius, marking unseasonably high levels for early September.
