It is very hot in France for 1 week. The government has big worries. Many people die at home due to heat. We do not have the number of dead people yet. The heat is worse than in the year 2003.
Old people are in big danger. Hospitals have much work. A doctor says: The situation is very serious. Many people die before they get help. The heat lasts for a long time.
Terrible accidents happened with children. In Marseille a child of 18 months died. A parent forgot the child in the car. Also in other cities children died in cars. It was over 30 degrees hot there.
Good news comes from Switzerland. It gets cooler there soon. Next week the temperature falls. Maybe there is some rain. In France it stays hot for now.
