The average temperature in Paris at this time of year is 71 degrees. 104 was more than 30 degrees above the normal temp. Few people have air conditioning. Have you been to Paris????? It is a very large city. Many places do not have large trees under which people can sit.

It has only been so devastating with a week above 100 degrees. Eight years ago in Chicago during a big heat wave, nearly 800 people died of it.
