In fact, it is estimated that the temperature will not drop below 22 degrees Celsius between Tuesday and Wednesday (30 and 31 July 2024.

Some parts of southern France are under Orange Commemoration, the third-highest warning, with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius in several locations.

Several sports that took place outdoors were beach volleyball at the Eiffel Tower, BMX freestyle qualifiers at the Place de la Concorde, and women's semifinal rugby at the Stade de France.
