France sees its hottest day on record - 111.7 degrees Fahrenheit [View all]

France has seen its hottest day since records began, according to the country’s weather agency.

Temperatures reached 44.3C in Pissos in south-western France, while other areas also hit unprecedented highs, including 42.1C in Bordeaux, Météo-France said in a post on X.

It comes after the agency said earlier that last night was the hottest night on record.

Météo-France also says the national temperature indicator, an average from 30 stations across the country, reached 29.8C at 17:00 local time, beating the previous record of 29.4C.
