It's the second heat wave in a month and we're only just arriving in summer.

Indeed, and it is beginning to enter the debate, this whole issue of the sort of lack of preparation, as the government's critics would put it.

Now, that's true.

Air conditioning is not something which is uniformly there in schools or in hospitals.

And there's a big debate now about whether that should be the case, whether it should be the mass roulette of air conditioning, knowing that there are certain people on the environmentalist movement who are opposed to it.

air conditioning because of the damage it does to the environment.

But, you know, the real life consequences of this heat are becoming more and more apparent.

And the fact is that even myself, I'm affected because my children can't go to school today.

That applies across the country, schools being shut or parents being told, listen, please don't bring your children to school today because we were faced with temperatures which are just simply intolerable for them.

And that's what's happened to where I am now.

And it's happened right across the country.

That was the famous 2003 heat wave.

Yes, 15,000 people died.

It was back then something for which the country was totally unprepared.

We can see now that it was a kind of precursor of all that's followed.

Nowadays, because of the recurrence of similar episodes, maybe not quite as extended as that, but they have become repeated.

People are more aware, and there is far more kind of mutual help.

Places are made available, cool zones.

Museums, for example, I'm reading today, have been opened in Lyon so people can cool down there.

There's far more air conditioning on public transport.
