On August 4, local time, the French Meteorological Service released data showing that the average temperature in France reached 24.9 degrees Celsius in July 2026, the hottest July since meteorological records were recorded in 1900, and the hottest month since meteorological records were recorded in France. The average temperature in the country in July was 3.8 degrees Celsius higher than in the same period of the year. Among them, the highest temperature was 5.2 degrees Celsius higher than in the same period of the year. At the same time, the French Meteorological Service said that due to continued high temperatures and low rainfall, rainfall in July was reduced by nearly 70% compared to the same period of the year, making it the third-lowest rainfall in July since records began. Affected by this, by the end of July, the country's average soil aridity level reached the highest level in the same period in history, which is comparable to the extreme dry period in mid-August 2022. The Bureau of Meteorology said that continued high temperatures and droughts have had an obvious impact on agriculture and increased the risk of forest fires.
