A child and a man have died and more than a dozen are injured after torrential storms in France toppled trees and flooded streets.
Metro stations and streets in Paris were left underwater yesterday evening when flash flooding hit the capital city.
Severe storms worsened across France after the country’s recent heatwave,which caused drier conditions,exacerbating the flooding.
Emergency services said that a tree fell and killed a child in the south-west of France,while a 59-year-old man died when his quad bike hit a toppled tree in the north-west.
The weather became so severe that the French National Assembly’s domed ceiling began leaking while Prime Minister Francois Bayrou spoke about the Middle East.
The debate was suspended while the leak was investigated,as streets outside the assembly doors flooded.
More than 110,000 homes and 39,000 lightning strikes have been recorded overnight in France and Belgium.

Warm temperatures will persist through the weekend,with London seeing a high of 34°C on Monday.
