A record heat wave is causing millions of people across Europe to sweat. In cities such as Paris, many homes lack air conditioning due to strict rules protecting historic buildings. The early heat wave is caused by hot air from North Africa being trapped over Europe, creating a “heat dome” phenomenon. It has pushed temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius. The extreme heat has disrupted schools, delayed trains, and even caused the Eiffel Tower to close early to help keep visitors safe.
