France Sends Planes to ‘Exceptional Scale’ Wildfire Outside Paris

Benoit Tessier/ReutersFrance is using water-bombing planes to battle a major wildfire that broke out just outside Paris. More than 400 firefighters have been deployed to tackle the blaze in the Fontainebleau forest, home to one of France’s largest and most historic royal palaces, which officials have described as “virulent” and of “exceptional scale.” Two water-bombing planes have been deployed to help extinguish the wildfire that spread across more than 1,980 acres. The Canadair planes are having to get water from the River Seine, which flows through central Paris, where residents have been swimming to try to cool off from the extreme heat. “The aim is to save lives and property,” said Eric Brocardi, of France’s national federation of firefighters. Strong winds are helping the fire spread, forcing the closure of a highway linking Paris and Lyon and disrupting train services to and from the capital. The Eiffel Tower and other famous sites were closed over the weekend for safety reasons because of the heatwave in Paris. It has been estimated that there have been more than 10,000 excess deaths in Europe due to last month’s heatwave. Read it at BBCRead more at The Daily Beast.

Dangerous heatwave to grip US as nation marks 250 years

WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — A dangerous heatwave is expected to sweep across much of the central and eastern United States (US) beginning Tuesday and lasting through the July 4 weekend, when the country celebrates its 250th birthday and hosts knockout stages of the World Cup.Temperatures are forecast to soar above 100F (38C), with high humidity pushing heat indexes even higher, the National Weather Service warned Monday.Overnight cooling will be limited, with many areas seeing lows in the mid- to upper-70s, the agency added.That combination of prolonged daytime heat and little nighttime relief is expected to increase the risk of heat-related illness, particularly for the most vulnerable.Drink water often. Limit time outside in the afternoon. Check on neighbours, said the public alert system in the nation's capital, Washington.The heatwave arrives as the United States prepares to mark the 250th anniversary of its independence from Britain, with the capital set to host what organisers say will be the largest fireworks display in history.The World Cup has meanwhile entered its knockout stages, with several matches set to take place in the sweltering conditions.More frequent, longer-lasting and more intense heatwaves are one of the clearest signs of climate change globally, with Europe also recently hard hit.
