It is feared that extreme heat and heatwaves will not be a problem during the Paris Olympics. Athletes from around the world have been warned that the French capital is likely to experience record-breaking heat this year. Paris has suffered from extreme heat and drought in the last five years.
The Olympics will be held from 26 July to 11 August. It is worth noting that there was a lot of heat during the Tokyo Olympics. According to the weather report, the two weeks of extreme heat during the Olympics is being seen as a big threat. It is worth noting that the Olympics are being organized in Paris after a long period of 100 years and during this time the summer temperature has increased by 1.8 degrees. There have been 50 major heatwave incidents in 100 years. The 2003 heat wave killed 14 thousand people in France. The green cover in Paris has reduced and most of the high-rise buildings have been built, due to which the heat level is constantly increasing.
Players will be troubled by the heat during the Games. The heat will have the greatest impact on tennis, beach volleyball as well as athletics competitions, especially the marathon. The Athletes' Village in northern Paris has been designed according to exact specifications without air conditioning. Instead of air conditioning, a system has been installed to naturally cool the temperature in the riverside tower blocks. A ventilation system has also been installed to avoid heat as the sun sets.
