Eiffel Tower closes early as heat wave grips Europe
The Eiffel Tower closed early on Tuesday as a sweltering heat wave gripped parts of Europe. The attraction closed at 4 p.m. local time — with last entry at 2:30 p.m. — as temperatures reached approximately 101 degrees Fahrenheit, according to a statement on the landmark's website. The tower will be closed all day on Wednesday, too, as a Red Warning for Extreme High Temperatures remains in effect through 12 a.m. Thursday. 'Due to the current heat wave, the Eiffel Tower is taking measures to ensure the comfort and safety of our visitors and staff,' the statement reads. Visitors whose tickets were affected by the closures will be automatically refunded, while those who haven't purchased tickets were advised to try again on or after Thursday when temperatures in the region are expected to cool down. Elsewhere in Europe, both Portugal and Spain broke heat records this week while London recorded the hottest opening day ever at Wimbledon (93 degrees Fahrenheit). In Italy, a construction worker in Bologna collapsed while repaving a parking lot and died. The conditions have also led to wildfires in Scotland's Cairngorms mountains. The UN's World Meteorological Organization said the southern Spanish town of El Granado hit about 115 degrees Fahrenheit last Saturday, the highest temperature ever recorded in Spain. 'Everybody is at risk,' said Clare Nullis, a spokesperson for the WMO. 'If you go out without water in the middle of the day, to do jogging, have a bike ride, you will probably have health problems or even die.' 'What is exceptional — and I would stress exceptional but not unprecedented — is the time of year,' Nullis added. 'We are July 1, and we are seeing episodes of extreme heat which normally we would see later on.' _____

OneAir Subscription for 94% Off With Our Exclusive Code Lets You Save Big on Hotel and Flight Bookings for a Lifetime
Travel costs have gotten to the point that you can barely cross the street for $50. What you can do with $50, however, is lock yourself into ridiculously huge airfare and hotel deals with a lifetime subscription to OneAir Elite, the AI-powered service that routinely finds prices between 20% to 60% lower than the ones published on the big travel-deal sites like Expedia and StackSocial's 87% off deal on a lifetime subscription to OneAir Elite already takes the price down from $790 to just $100, and then when you use the code TRAVEL at checkout, that discounted price gets cut in half to just $50 (-94%), and it's a one-time buy that gets you permanent access to OneAir Elite. Chances are it will take you only one booking to cover that $50 cost, and since OneAir Elite gives you up to 10% in credit back on each booking, you might end up getting your lifetime subscription basically for free after just one use. See at StackSocial OneAir Elite is smart booking backed by AI that does powerful, lightning-fast deep dives into airline and hotel sites and even locates the unpublished prices that can usually only be found by travel agents. The price you see on OneAir Elite, which is often hundreds and even thousands of dollars below regular listed prices, is the price you get — there are no hidden fees or extra costs that pop up when you check out. A quick hotel search will send OneAir Elite's AI engine into over 700 airlines worldwide and over 2 million hotels in search of the very best prices. Even after you book your trip, OneAir Elite is still working to save you money. OneAir Elite automatically tracks your existing reservations, and if the price drops or an even better deal pops up, it will automatically rebook the same hotel room at the lower cost, or re-ticket your flight, and refund you the difference. And don't forget, you're already getting up to 10% back in OneAir Travel Cash Rewards with each booking, so your next trip will somehow be an even bigger bargain. You could conceivably earn back your one-time purchase fee for a lifetime subscription to OneAir Elite even if you were to buy it at the full-retail price of $790, if you were to score a phenomenally big deal on airfare and a hotel. But when you're only paying $100 after StackSocial's 87%-off deal kicks in, it gets way easier to cover that one-time buy with the money saved on your travel bill. And when you use the code TRAVEL at checkout and cut that number in half to just $50, it's virtually a lock that you'll be making that back many times over with just one booking. See at StackSocial
