The unprecedented May heatwave dominated editorial priorities for the fourth consecutive day, peaking with a new national monthly record of 37.8°C in Angoulême. Météo-France maintained orange vigilance for 17 departments, though the alert began lifting in the northwest by evening. Coverage shifted from the heat's physical toll to its institutional and social strains: government criticism over unpreparedness, school closures deemed 'exceptional,' and a union survey finding 80% of secondary schools above 30°C. The US-Iran conflict remained a secondary but persistent thread, with new US 'defensive' strikes, Iranian retaliation threats, and a reported framework agreement awaiting Trump's approval. Roland-Garros provided a dramatic sports narrative: world No. 1 Jannik Sinner's shock second-round exit and 17-year-old Moïse Kouamé's historic advance to the third round. Other notable developments included the National Assembly's unanimous vote to abrogate the 'Code noir,' a knife attack in a Swiss station, and Israel's continued operations in Gaza and Lebanon.
