Many European countries have recently been affected by heat waves and have recorded record-breaking high temperatures every day. Among them, France is particularly severe, and even the Paris Tower is difficult to escape! The high temperature “distorts” this famous tower, which is shifted up to 20 cm a day. The Paris Municipal Government once closed the top floor of the tower for extreme weather, which disappointed many passengers. It is expected that the heat wave in Europe will continue. If you plan to travel, you must pay close attention to the local meteorological conditions and the opening arrangements of attractions.

The Paris Tower is deformed and displaced up to 20 cm per day
Located in the heart of Paris, the Eiffel Tower was built in 1889 and is 330 meters high and consists of puddled iron. This metal is extremely sensitive to temperature changes. French architect and historian Bertrand Lemoine once pointed out that heat can cause iron to expand. If one side is exposed to direct sunlight for a long time and the expansion effect occurs earlier than the other side, the entire tower may be slightly tilted or even twisted. He estimated that the spire could shift up to 20 cm a day in extreme high temperatures, but stressed that this change would not pose a threat to structural safety.
European heat waves hit the top of the tower once closed
The Eiffel Tower has become a “heat alarm” under the heat wave. The French National Meteorological Service rarely issued a red high temperature alarm to four areas in early July, and Paris recorded an extreme temperature of more than 40 degrees Celsius, forcing more than 1,300 schools to be closed in full or partially. The top floor of the Eiffel Tower has also stopped opening, and the city has promised to refund the affected passengers and encouraged visits to the first and second floors. This case also reminds passengers that traveling to Europe in summer must reserve flexibility to avoid major itineraries due to weather.
