40 People Drown in France Amid Scorching Temperatures

ONP Summary
A severe heatwave sweeping across Europe has claimed approximately 40 lives in France, primarily through drowning as people attempted to cool down in unsupervised swimming areas. Extreme temperatures exceeding 40°C have prompted emergency alerts and health warnings across multiple European nations including Britain, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland, disrupting schools and transport networks. The tragedy has underscored Europe's accelerated warming trajectory, with continental temperatures rising significantly faster than the global average.
