Mont Blanc July temp hits 3.3°C, double 1994 level, as rockfalls surge
Aiguille du Midi's July average hit 3.3°C, more than double the 1.6°C of 1994, destabilizing permafrost and triggering rockfalls around Europe's highest peak. Chamonix officials warn populated areas could face large ice and rock falls as glaciers retreat and slopes weaken. The episode links high-elevation warming to immediate public-safety and adaptation costs.
