France on red alert, ‘intense and long-lasting’ heatwave creating ‘heat dome’
Also read: Wildfire spreads on Spain's Tenerife island, forces thousands to flee homes "Some records could be broken, notably on Tuesday in the Rhone valley with 40-42C expected," said the national weather service Meteo France. The heatwave is described as "intense and long-lasting" and arriving "particularly late in the season." This weather phenomenon results from a period of high pressure that has created a "heat dome" over the country. In 2022, following a suffocating summer of record temperatures and forest fires, France, for the most part, experienced a typical holiday period this year, avoiding the intense heat that scorched southern Europe in July.

Soccer: Ambitious World Cup a wonder goal for women's game
Women's World Cup kicked off in Australia and New Zealand a month ago with some doubts it could deliver on lofty ambitions. Those concerns eased well before Sunday's final where Spain were crowned first-time champions by beating England 1-0 at a packed Stadium Australia in Sydney. Less than a year after a player revolt tore the Spanish squad apart, La Roja's triumph was only one of the surprises for record crowds and TV audiences through the month-long festival of women's football. Fears the first 32-team Women's World Cup might suffer for its size proved groundless, as did predictions of another processional victory for the United States. Sunday's final was the first without either the U.S. or Germany involved, the four-times champion Americans dumped out of the round-of-16 by Sweden and the Germans exiting before the knockout phase. The U.S.'s exit via penalty shootout ended a dynasty after back-to-back titles in 2015 and 2019. U.S.
