Study in Npj Climate and Atmospheric Science journal forecasts record-breaking 2024 Paris Olympics heat, prompting organizers to take preventive measures.

A study published in the Npj Climate and Atmospheric Science journal warns of a substantial risk of record-breaking high temperatures during the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics. The research suggests that a two-week heatwave could surpass the 2003 Paris heat record. Due to these concerns, event organizers are implementing measures to mitigate the effects of extreme heat, including adjusting the start times of outdoor events and using geothermal cooling systems in the athletes' village. Concerns remain for the athletes' village, which has been built without air conditioning.
