Here in Paris it has been around 33-38,for about 6weeks now.
This is made worse by the high level of pollution.
Two years back 15,000 people died of heat related problems throughout France.A lot of Blah Blah was spouted at the time,and a lot of embarassed faces were seen pontificating on TV.
It's true that so far, there has been an enormous reduction in casualties,but this is due to the awareness of people on the ground,lots of publicity on TV, and the media in general.
The gvt havent been exactly visible so far.No change there then!
