Much of France was set to experience temperatures of around 40C on Tuesday, after records were shattered on Monday
Forty people have drowned in France over the past days as they sought to cool down to escape record heat, the prime minister said on Tuesday, as a heatwave swept across much of Europe.
Speaking ahead of an emergency meeting on the heatwave, French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said: “A sad scourge when it comes to drownings, as the latest figures just reported to us show 40 deaths since June 18, most of them young people.”
Across France, people have been jumping into canals and rivers to cool off. French sports minister Marina Ferrari said she understood the urge to escape the heat but warned against swimming in unauthorized or dangerous areas.
Yeah maybe don’t jump straight into unknown water. Walk in slowly from the edge if it’s possible, if not perhaps find another entry point to start from. For rivers swim up stream to explore it so if the current gets stronger you are just pushed back to your starting point.
Mettez l’eau en vous. Ne vous mettez pas dans l’eau.
