Paris-Sana
The French authorities have issued a warning of high temperatures in large parts of France, after reaching about 40 degrees Celsius in some parts of the country during the last 24 hours.
And Agence France-Presse quoted the French Meteorological Authority as saying that temperatures will rise more during the next 24 hours, noting that this severe heat wave hit France earlier than ever before.
Paris, Lyon and Strasbourg imposed restrictions on the movement of cars to reduce ozone pollution and reduced the maximum speed of cars, while allowing only some cars with certain certificates to move.
At the same time, Paris allowed parks to continue to open at night, which are usually closed, in order to allow citizens to avoid high temperatures.
A few days ago, French government spokeswoman Olivia Gregoire called on the French to be wary of high temperatures in the country.
