France experienced the second hottest summer since 1900, DPA reported, citing the Meteo France National Meteorological Service, BTA reported.

During the months of June, July and August, which reflect the meteorological summer, the average temperature for the country is likely to be 2.3 degrees Celsius above the reference value, experts predict.

It is the second hottest summer in France since 1900, after the heatwave of 2003.

According to the weather service, the country has suffered three heatwaves in the past three months, which have been described as particularly intense and long.

Temperature records were broken in various places in France.

The data show that the country has seen significantly less rain this summer.

Average amounts are about 20 percent below the 1991-2020 average.

Hot days are more because of climate change.

According to the weather service, France has been struggling with more and more heat in the last few decades.

Drought will also worsen as a result of climate change.

Experts warned in a statement that summers like this year could become normal in the country after 2050 if high emissions continue.
