Paris, a recognized city in France, broke its own record after having the highest temperature in the region since 1947. In this way, the region experienced a heat wave that stood at 42.6 degrees Celsius, a value higher than the 40.4 degrees of the last century. For this reason, several cities in France are already in a state of red alert.

On the other hand, Belgium reached, this Wednesday, the temperature of 39.9 degrees Celsius. On the other hand, Germany and the Netherlands generated temperatures of 41.5 and 41.7 degrees respectively. All this would reflect this incredible heat wave that Europe would be experiencing this season.

These high temperatures appear to last for a very short time. Specialists have already commented that, for Friday, a gradual decrease in what would be these high temperatures that are being experienced throughout Europe is expected.
