Festival-goers in France who were looking forward to having a beer during the country\u2019s major musical celebration, Fete de la Musique, may have to find something else to sip on.\u00a0<\/p>

With Europe in the grips of a sweltering heatwave, the nation\u2019s leaders are taking precautions, and one of those safeguards is stopping people from drinking in some public places.<\/p>

On Saturday, the Prime Minister\u2019s office directed officials to prohibit alcohol consumption in all public spaces that are under a red heatwave alert,\u00a0according to Reuters<\/u>. The order also includes Sunday\u2019s annual Fete de la Musique festival if the concert venue will be under a red alert that afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>

The backstory:<\/p>

Meteorologists expect 35 of the country\u2019s 96 departments to be under such an alert on Sunday as temperatures look to climb to 102-104 degrees Fahrenheit (39 to 40 degrees Celsius), with some places getting even hotter.\u00a0<\/p>

Hot across Europe<\/h2>

France is not the only European nation dealing with the heatwave. A\u00a0Reuters reporter described<\/u> sightseeing in Rome as a test of endurance near the Colosseum, as tourists sought out shade where they could, even if it was an old Roman temple.<\/p>

Spain\u2019s soccer federation shut down the outdoor fan zone that was set up in Madrid for Sunday\u2019s World Cup match against Saudi Arabia, leaving fans looking for somewhere else to go watch the game.<\/p>
