00:20After a recent spell of bad weather, the sun is returning and temperatures will spike with
00:24a change of up to 15 degrees in some areas. But in the south, people are used to the heat
00:30and know how to deal with it.
00:54Local health authorities are prepared, especially to protect vulnerable people such as the elderly,
01:08who are often referred to emergency rooms with heat stroke.
01:25For the elderly, free phone numbers will also be available where they can ask for assistance
