🌧️🌪️🌫️
Unforeseen and fierce storms have battered France, leaving a trail of devastation in their wake. A 12-year-old boy and a man lost their lives amidst the chaos. The boy, in Montauban, southwestern France, tragically met his end when a tree came crashing down on him. The man, in Mayenne, west France, met the same unfortunate fate while riding a quad, hit by another fallen tree, according to firefighters [1].
Seventeen other individuals were left injured, one critically, with rescue services reporting the harrowing incidents. Property damage across numerous areas has been extensive. Paris faced a particular brunt as rainwater engulfed the National Assembly, compelling a temporary halt to parliamentary debates [2].
Scorching temperatures of over 35°C were prevalent across much of France before the emergence of these storms, which unleashed winds exceeding 100 km/h during the evening of June 25. These catastrophic storms led to 100,000 households in the heart of the country losing power, and France now braces for another heatwave extending through the week [3].
