Analysis included in the Rings of Fire report shows that in the past 100 years there has been a significant increase in the number of "tropical" nights, when temperatures do not drop below 20C (68F). Between 1924 and 1933, only four tropical nights were observed in Paris. In 2014-2023, the city experienced a total of 84 tropical nights – 21 times more.

Mohan says she has "mixed feelings" about the lack of air conditioning in the village. She says she understands organisers' commitment to sustainability but is worried about the impact heat will have on her health and recovery following the triathlon. "Recovery is very important for athletes," she says. "I want to be safe. I don't want to come back injured and I don't want to not have my best performance on the day."

The organisers of the games have said that Paralympic delegations will be provided with one free air-conditioning unit for every three athletes for medical reasons, as some athletes experience thermoregulation problems.

It's difficult to know exactly how polluted Parisian air was in 1924, when air quality monitoring was in its infancy. There are some records dating back to the early 20th Century, such as measurements of suspended dust from industrial processes or measurements of atmospheric electricity. The Eiffel Tower was an ideal structure for taking these measurements and scientists have used these records to infer smoke pollution levels in the French capital in the 1890s.
