I was in Paris back in 2003 when that huge heatwave hit. It was above 100 for the entire week I was there.

Now I can here the Texans and Floridians here scoffing, but remember that there is no air conditioning in Paris. In the entire week we spent about 2 hours in an air conditioned place (the Louvre). At night some people resorted to dousing their sheets in water to try to stay cool. It was brutal.
