Paris: France registered its second-warmest June since records began in 1900, said the country's ministry for ecological transition on Wednesday, as Europe sweltered in an early summer heatwave.

"June 2025 has become the second hottest June since records began in 1900, behind June 2003," said France's minister for ecological transition Agnes Pannier-Runacher.
