The reason for the 2003 European heatwave is still being debated;
however, it is clear that august (the time in which the heatwave took place) is
one of the hottest months of the year in Europe. The 40 degree weather was not
common however, as it lasted for weeks on end due to the lack of air movement
in the area. However, Europe, France in particular, is surrounded by an array
of dams, rivers and oceans creating a balanced air flow therefore; once this
heatwave took place and it was studied it is visible that the problem started
from the lack of air movement.
