After a rain-soaked opening ceremony last week, Olympic fans are adjusting to a very
00:06
different experience, a heatwave.
00:10
Most of France is under a heatwave warning, with temperatures in Paris and its surrounding
00:14
areas expecting to climb to 35 degrees Celsius or higher, according to the French National
00:20
Weather Agency.
00:22
Visitors and residents cooled off by drinking water and staying in the shade.
00:28
Paris' train and metro operator said over 2.5 million containers of water will be distributed
00:33
at public transport stations.
00:36
France's National Weather Agency described heatwaves as increasingly intense, frequent,
00:41
early and long-lasting amid climate change.
00:45
It said that before 1989, such high temperatures were observed on average once every five years,
00:50
but since 2000, they have been repeating every year.
00:54
It predicts the trend will keep increasing.
