Heatwave In Paris, France

People sunbathe in the Tuileries Garden in Paris, France, on May 28, 2026, as a record-breaking early heatwave affects a large area of western Europe. The United Kingdom and France have reported their hottest ever May days this week as a ''heat dome'' brings high temperatures more typical of midsummer to the region. UN climate chief Simon Stiell describes the heatwave as ''a brutal reminder of the spiraling impacts of the climate crisis,'' stating that ''the science is clear that human-induced climate change is making these heatwaves more frequent and extreme.''
