Analysis Summary:

The article is mostly accurate. The claim about the Eiffel Tower being "shuttered" is somewhat ambiguous but supported by sources indicating closures of parts of the tower. The temperature forecast for Paris is also supported. The article presents a relatively neutral view of the heatwave.

Detailed Analysis:

• Claim:** "Heat wave shutters Paris' Eiffel Tower" - Verification Source #3 states "The top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris was shut because of the heatwave". Verification Source #1 mentions the Eiffel Tower. Verification Source #2 mentions the Eiffel Tower in relation to heat. Verification Source #5 shows a picture of the Eiffel Tower. This claim is supported, although "shutters" is a slightly misleading word choice, as it implies the entire tower was closed, which is not explicitly stated.
• Claim:** "The worst heat was felt in southern Europe" - Verification Source #3 supports this claim, stating "Withering conditions that have baked southern Europe for days".
• Claim:** "punishing temperatures were forecast to reach 104 degrees Fahrenheit in Paris" - Verification Source #2 mentions temperatures in Paris hitting 104F. Verification Source #1 mentions record temperatures in Paris. This claim is supported.
• Claim:** "remain unusually high in Belgium and the Netherlands" - While the provided snippets don't explicitly state this, the general context of a European heatwave suggests this is likely true. This is not directly verified by the provided sources, but is a reasonable inference.

Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:

• Verification Source #3: Supports the claim that the top of the Eiffel Tower was shut due to the heatwave.
• Verification Source #2: Supports the claim about temperatures reaching 104F in Paris.
• Verification Source #3: Supports the claim that southern Europe was experiencing the worst heat.
• Verification Source #1: Supports the claim that Paris broke a record temperature.
• The claim about Belgium and the Netherlands experiencing unusually high temperatures is not directly supported by the provided sources, but is a reasonable inference given the context of a European heatwave.
