The city of Paris is currently experiencing a heatwave as the Olympic Games take place, with temperatures expected to reach a scorching 35 degrees Celsius. France’s meteorological agency has issued a “yellow alert” for the capital and surrounding areas, warning of storms and high temperatures.
The extreme heat comes as athletes and spectators gather in Paris for the Olympics, adding an extra challenge to the already intense competition. While the city is known for its beautiful architecture and cultural attractions, the heatwave is a reminder of the impact of climate change on daily life.
As athletes compete in various events across France, organizers and officials are taking precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone involved. It is a stark reminder of the importance of addressing climate change and its effects on communities worldwide.
Despite the challenging weather conditions, the Olympic Games are continuing as scheduled, with athletes pushing themselves to their limits in pursuit of victory.

24C is what I currently have in ac here in Austin Texas . They think 25C is hot then come to Texas in August when it’s 45C in the summer .
This is turning into a concentration camp now 😂. Cardboard beds, meat deprivation, dirty water, extreme heat….
Let us all spare a thought for the athletes. 🙏
lol didn’t they assure that France never gets that hot?! … for their reasoning behind NO AC in the Olympic village?! 😂
It's called summer it gets hot now we know what it is move on next is autumn then winter then spring
If you were going to run it like this, how could the Olympics be held? It's the worst Olympics ever.
Tropical countries participants:"Its our time to shine!"
this Olympics just keeps embarrassing the France.
I don't even watch any games after such mockery in the inauguration ceremony
God's letting them know not to mock Him.
I can only compete in air conditioning lol
Wow a hot summer, how odd…I mean climate change, climate change.
Bet the Seine smells great now
This is probably going to end in a tragedy, like an athlete either dying or getting critically ill from all the incompetence going around.
They could all just go naked! There’s no morals in France anymore obviously after witnessing the opening ceremony.
40℃ with no aircon?? Poor athletes
Not watching any of it because of the Opening ceremony being in such bad taste.
And no aircon 😂😂😂😂
No ACs in the accommodations. Paris said they want to go green and clean. Other countries brought their own portable ACs while others cannot afford the it.
People are forced to eat leaves. Less meat in the MENU
This is the worst ever Olympics.
No air conditioners. That goes against Green ideology.
MashaAllah..
Now all the elite celebrities who are in Paris will be yammering on about climate change. No matter, I'm sure they'll all carpool home to save all that carbon emission from their private jets.
Rain wave, Grape wave, woke wave, shite wave, vegan wave. Oh woe is me the heat.
40C is 104F for those wondering.
