Australia started keeping weather records from 1910. The Bureau of Meteorology was formed in 1908. It's hard to trust them though as these days they have moved the location of where they measure. Quite simple to manage to record higher temperatures to suit the politics of the day.
The first photo at jardin du Luxembourg illustrates the inequality between men and women. The man can be shirtless, but the woman has to be warm.
Those images are great finds!
It was so fun to see how a canicule was depicted 100+ years ago!
