France is set to be hit by its third heatwave of 2026 just days after a record-breaking spell of extreme heat left around 1,000 people dead, according to local media reports. Temperatures are expected to soar past 35 degrees Celsius again this weekend, while the government's handling of the crisis has sparked a no-confidence motion. The deadly heat has also intensified the climate debate across Europe, where scientists say such events are becoming more frequent because of global warming.
