France is in the grips of a severe heat wave, leading to canceled trains, concerts and sports events. Authorities have banned public drinking in "red alert" zones to reduce risks. Temperatures reached 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) on Sunday, with even hotter conditions expected Monday. The Eiffel Tower and other venues have set up misting stations to cool crowds. Spain, Italy and Germany are also sweltering with temperatures soaring to dangerous levels. The World Health Organization warns that more than 200,000 people in Europe have died from heat-related causes over the last four years.

  • Jackson Chastain We continue to track a few stray thunderstorms and showers in northern Washoe County and far northern Nevada. We have managed to stay sunny in Reno which has led to highs in the upper 80s Saturday afternoon. We’ll once again cool into the mid to upper 50s in what will be another cooler start Sunday. Building high pressure next week will bring highs close to 100 Tuesday and Wednesday. The record on Tuesday at the airport is 99 degrees which gives us a shot at matching that record. Overall the week in general will be uneventful, although a trough move in Thursday and an upper low Saturday to cool us into the upper 80s by Saturday. So far it looks like we’ll stay away from the rain, with showers staying well to the north near Oregon.
