France has implemented a ban on alcohol at several events during a massive national music festival. This decision comes as a severe heatwave pushes temperatures toward record-breaking levels across the country. Authorities took the measure to ensure public safety and prevent heat-related health emergencies. The restrictions apply specifically to events occurring under a red heatwave alert. By limiting alcohol consumption, organizers aim to reduce dehydration and heatstroke risks for attendees. The move highlights the increasing challenges of managing large-scale public gatherings during extreme weather. Officials continue to monitor temperature spikes to determine the duration of these restrictions.
