Red areas are climate, blue areas are weather.
France’s record hot temperature (115F) was set yesterday a few miles east of Montpelier.
I can’t find any long term data at the record site, but at Montpelier, the temperature at 11 am was 108F, rose to 109F at 11:30, and then fell to 100F at noon.

So for a few minutes, the temperature was a shocking 1F higher than 1935, when France was hot and Japan was flooding.

Meanwhile, 100 miles west at Toulouse, it was 103F yesterday – eight degrees cooler than 1923.

Paris has been nowhere close to record heat. Today is the last day and peak of the heatwave there, with a forecast high of 96F. They have had 164 days since the year 1900 hotter than that, including seven days over 100F.
There can be little doubt that a half hour long surge of heat at a tiny area in France shows the planet is doomed.
The press is engaged in their usual mindless hysterics about record heat, this time in France. Data is limited for France, but at least in Paris the summer of 1947 was hotter. Interesting to note the similar pattern this year to 1947 temperatures. It is almost like something other than CO2 controls the weather.
Temperatures reached 105F (41C) in Paris, and people in Congress thought Russia was planning on taking over the world. People at the time blamed imaginary climate change on WWII.
After eight days of shade temperature running up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit In Paris, France’s fourth heat wave for the summer still shorn no sign of coming to an end, and the capital is sweltering in a humid heat that is very hard to bear.
There is indeed, a widespread popular belief that the war did actually cause a modification in European climate

Now they blame imaginary climate change on CO2.
It is always something ….
IMAGINARY CHANGES OF CLIMATE.
a plentiful crop speculation from weather prophets, and projectors, and half-instructed meteorologists, and all the philosophic tribe of Laputa In general, to whom the periodical press now affords such fatal facilities. We
every season is sure to be ” extraordinary,” almost every month one of the driest or wettest, or windiest, coldest or hottest, ever known. Much observation, which ought to correct a tendency to exaggerate, seems in some minds to have rather a tendency to increase it.
Others, speculating quite as conjecturally and even more absurdly, seem to attribute the impending change of climate—of which they assume the reality—to the operation of men

In 1821, 200,000 people died from the heat in France.

On this date in 1901, it was 109 degrees in Wisconsin. June 28th heat has plummeted in the US over the past century, with the five hottest years being 1931, 1934, 1936, 1933 and 1901.
100+ degree temperatures used to be much more common, and hotter in the Midwest.
The US has become accustomed to cool weather, but summers used to be very hot here.
The five hottest June 27ths in the US were 1931, 1936, 1934, 1933 and 1901. The likelihood of hot weather has plummeted in the US over the last 90 years.
One hundred degree temperatures used to be common across the US during summer.
But now they are almost always confined to the desert southwest and the Great Plains.
This is why NASA and NOAA have to erase the heat of the 1930s and jack up recent temperatures. Reality completely wrecks their scam.

Lots of hysteria about 100 degree temperatures in France today, but the area of France over 100F (38C) today is about the size of Illinois. On July 28, 1947 all of France was over 90F (32C) and Paris was 105F (41C);
