Punishing temperatures extended to the United Kingdom and Spain, where weather agencies issued red alerts \u2014 like France \u2014 about the risks of extreme heat for tens of millions of people. The record of 85.6 F for France\u2019s national thermal indicator \u2014 an average of temperatures measured at 30 weather stations \u2014 was only the latest in a series of never-before-registered highs heaped on Europe\u2019s largest country. The condi- tions were likely to persist at least until the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurther record-breaking temperatures are expected, including some that could surpass all previous records, regardless of the time of year,\u201d the Meteo France weather service said. France\u2019s previous hottest days were recorded during heat waves of August 2003 and July 2019, with an aver- age temperature of 84.9 F. Temperature records also tumbled at individ- ual weather stations and on consecutive days in some towns as daytime highs climbed well above 104 F, Meteo France said.<\/p>\n

In the French capital, Gin Dujardin said the heat forced him to halt his work fixing roofs, which in Paris often have galvanized zinc cover- ings. \u201cIt\u2019s very, very hard because the zinc is very hot. The welds don\u2019t hold,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s Dubai tempera- tures. It\u2019s impossible.\u201d France has recorded 40 fatalities from drowning in the past week as people seek relief in rivers and other bodies of water, despite authorities\u2019 warnings about unsupervised swimming.<\/p>\n

Most of the drownings involved young people, Prime Minister S\u00e9bastien Lecornu said. Meteo France said the heat wave has reached what it described as a \u201cplateau of severity,\u201d with unrelenting heat, day and night. A grow- ing number of regions will tip into the red again Wednesday as the heat spreads across more than half of the country, including the northernmost tip of France, the weather service said. Human-caused climate change is tied to increas- ingly extreme weather, and U.N.<\/p>\n

climate agency projec- tions say the next five years are likely to shatter more heat records. In a country without widespread air condition- ing, schools, public trans- portation and sporting events have been affected. In Paris, the Eiffel Tower closed in the afternoon instead of late at night, as it usually does. The Louvre museum said it would close two hours earlier than normal from Wednes- day through Saturday. \u201cAlthough parts of its historic building are natu- rally resilient, the museum remains vulnerable and is not sufficiently adapted to climate change,\u201d Louvre officials said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHeat buildup is greatest toward the end of the day and is further intensi- fied by high visitor numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The top of the NBA draft played out according to predictions Tuesday, allowing the Bulls to select North Carolina\u2019s Caleb Wilson at No. 4. The 6-foot-10 forward averaged 19.8 points and 9.4 rebounds as a freshman for the Tar Heels. Sports Bulls select Wilson with No. 4 pick By Munir Ahmed, David Rising and Jon Gambrell ASSOCIATED PRESS ISLAMABAD \u2014 The U.S. and Iran were in dispute Tuesday over whether Tehran had agreed to allow U.N.<\/p>\n

inspections of its nuclear sites. As officials negotiated over how to permanently end the war in Iran, a separate plan emerged to break the shipping bottleneck through the Strait of Hormuz. The disagreement over nuclear inspections came as Iran\u2019s president met with Pakistani mediators and technical teams from the U.S. and Iran continued talks in Switzerland. Also Tuesday in Washington, D.C., the Senate for the first time approved a war powers resolution seeking to block U.S.<\/p>\n

military action against Iran, as lawmakers warily watch President Donald Trump\u2019s efforts to resolve a conflict that the administration launched on its own and now needs Congress to fund. It was the 10th time the Senate has tried to stop the war, and the outcome, on a vote of 50-48, was a stunning turnaround from past efforts. While the resolution is largely symbolic, and does not fully carry the force of law, it reflects the growing concerns from a number of Republican lawmakers in the House and Senate over both the war and the tentative deal Trump struck with Iran to end it.<\/p>\n

The House approved the resolution earlier this month. \u201cTime after time, the vast major- ity of Senate Republicans sided with Trump and his war instead of the American people,\u201d said Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer. Schumer said Americans have paid the price for \u201cTrump\u2019s historic blunder in Iran. It\u2019ll go down in the history books as one of the worst foreign policy forays America has ever made.\u201d In the past, as many as four GOP senators have voted for the war powers resolutions, and they did so Tuesday \u2014 Republicans Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana.<\/p>\n

One Democrat, Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, voted against. On this vote, the absence of two Republicans, including Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who was admitted to the hospital recently for an undisclosed matter, left the GOP without a full majority to halt the effort.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
