A record-breaking heatwave in France is severely impacting the agricultural sector due to a phenomenon known as the “hairdryer effect.” This combination of extreme temperatures and hot, dry winds is rapidly dehydrating soil and scorching crops, leaving farmers struggling to salvage their yields. The ongoing weather conditions pose an immediate threat to key agricultural regions, heightening concerns over crop yields and food production safety as extreme weather patterns persist.

Diabolical that Europe/France have this when they at least try to slow climate change
I’ll bet $1000 it’s not the hottest day ever in France.
Should have picked crop adapted to dry and arid heat like cactus.
Humans are not in charge of weather never have been and here is a newsflash stop growing water thirsty crops that are unsustainable its 43 here today I am used to it as well as our state here in the US
