Weather alert: We're in canicule mode this week. That means dog days. Afternoon highs will be in the upper 90s F, and farther south they'll be in the 100s. TéléMatin is asking people who are not so vulnerable to the effects of the heat to call family members and elderly neighbors to make sure they are not in need of help coping.
Our temperature between 4:00 and 8:00 PM today is predicted to be 37ºC — that's human body temperature. Parisians are being told to expect a high temperature of 36ºC. Meanwhile, here are some more photos of the interiors of the Château de Cheverny.

Oh, those are beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteAnd... just like the BIG canicule of many years ago (the year you first lived in Saint Aignan, right?), it's August, and many elderly folks are on their own, with their families away on vacation and not close by... and, the hospitals are running with a lighter number of doctors, probably. Hoping this passes soon.
You're right. But back in 2003, we had been living through the gray, misty, foggy, chilly summers of San Francisco for more than 15 years, so we weren't ready for the great canicule that greeted us when we arrive here. This year we are hardened against heat. Still, we expect another week of highs of 90 or above.
