Europe is experiencing an unprecedented heatwave that has broken temperature records, leading to a surge in fan and air-conditioner sales. Experts attribute the extreme weather to atmospheric patterns and global warming, which trap hot air and cause temperatures to rise. France's national temperature indicator reflects the ongoing impact of this prolonged heat.

Europe is experiencing record heat due to atmospheric patterns trapping hot air, leading to increased AC sales. Experts attribute this phenomenon to global warming.
