Eiffel Tower shut for tourists as Paris swelters under heat wave
As heat waves grip most of Europe, the summit of Paris' Eiffel Tower has been shut for visitors with temperatures in France's capital expected to reach 38.3 degrees Celsius on Tuesday. According to a statement on Eiffel Tower's website, the landmark would close early at 4pm (local time). The website added a few advisory for the visitors which stated that the last entry for ticket holders would be 2:30pm (local time) and visitors without tickets are 'asked to postpone their visit until after Thursday.' Eiffel Tower's website also urged tourists to protect themselves from the sun and stay hydrated regularly during the period of high temperatures. The website stated that fountains are available along the paths leading to the forecourt for people seeking respite from the heat wave. The top of Eiffel Tower has been shut but the first and second floor of the iconic attraction remains open, however, staff are urging visitors without pre-booked tickets to postpone their trip. 🌐 Due to the heatwave, and to ensure everyone's comfort and safety, the summit will be closed through July 2. To all my visitors, please protect yourself from the sun and stay hydrated 🥤👒 — La tour Eiffel (@LaTourEiffel) June 30, 2025 Amid soaring temperatures in Paris, parts of southern France have seen mercury rising to 40 degrees Celsius as the French government issued high-level heat wave alerts across 84 regions of the country. French far-right leader Marine Le Pen on Monday criticized the French government's handling of the heat wave crisis and called for 'a major air conditioning equipment plan'. Le Pen said ordinary citizens are facing the brunt of the scorching heat while 'so-called French elites' remain in climate-controlled environments, Politico reported. According to a CNN report, a marine heat wave has combined with a powerful heat dome in the Mediterranean Sea which is causing Europe to swelter under the scorching heat wave. It is a new pattern which has become frequent in recent times as the planet warms up. The influence of Mediterranean Seat heat waves have become more significant and torturous in recent summers, with ocean heat playing a vital role in temperature rise on land, which in turn triggers deadly floods and wildfires.

Most parts in A.P. likely to receive normal rainfall in July, says IMD
Most parts in Andhra Pradesh are likely to receive normal rainfall in July, as per the India Meteorological Department (IMD), which released its weather outlook for the country for the month on Monday (June 30, 2025). Elaborating about the rainfall activity in Andhra Pradesh, S. Karunasagar, Senior Scientist, IMD, Amaravati, said the rainfall activity would remain normal in the Rayalaseema region in July. The South Coastal A.P. may receive normal to above-normal rainfall while the North Coastal A.P. may receive normal to below-normal rainfall. Since the onset of the Southwest monsoon in the State on May 26, the State has received a deficit rainfall of 21%, which, however, has improved from June 22, when the deficit percentage stood at 37.5. While experts say that June is the least rainall contributing month during the Southwest monsoon season, the State recorded above-normal rainfall of 154.8 mm last year in June. This time, the average rainfall was 79.9 mm when compared to the normal of 101.1 mm. Of 26 districts, only East Godavari recorded excess rainfall between May 26 and July 1, according to IMD, Amaravati Director S. Stella. All the districts in Rayalaseema and South Coastal A.P. have reported deficient rainfall in the first month of the monsoon, with the districts of SPSR Nellore, Annamayya and YSR Kadapa recording 'large deficient' rainfall. 'While the country saw above-normal rainfall in June, Andhra Pradesh recorded a deficient rainfall. But usually, it is September rainfall, followed by August, that contributes more to the State during the monsoon season,' said Mr. Karunasagar. Meanwhile, unlike June when weather remained hot and sultry, the State may record below normal to normal maximum and minimum temperatures in July. As per the weekly forecast issued by the IMD, thunderstorms, accompanied by lightning and strong winds touching a speed of 50 kmph, are likely in isolated places across the State until July 7, under the influence of a low-pressure area over Gangetic West Bengal and adjoining north Odisha. The associated cyclonic circulation is likely to move slowly west-north westwards across Jharkhand during the next 24 hours. There is also a monsoon trough that now passes through the centre of the low-pressure area over Jharkhand and its neighbourhood, and then south eastwards to east-central Bay of Bengal, the IMD said.
