TOPSHOT - A child walks along the glass-roofed corridor of the Isle Verte primary school which closes its doors on May 28 and 29 afternoon after a heatwave pushed temperatures up to 53°C at the beginning of the week, in Soustons, south-western France, on May 28, 2026. Western Europe faced another day of record-breaking temperatures as a heatwave pushed the mercury well above normal levels for May. A so-called "heat dome" of warm air from northern Africa trapped under a high-pressure system over western Europe is behind the sort of heat not usually seen until high summer.
