Today I've got four kilos of ice cubes to help us through the week. It was also announced that on Saturday temperatures will rise up to 37C/98F. This weekend the Tour de France starts in our city and between 700,000 and 900,000 tourists are expected (that's 7 to 9 times as much people as during King's Day when the city is very full), when you're in the inner city with all those people temperatures will rise between 40 and 50C/104 and 122F

My way of coping is to drink a lot of water, eat a lot of fruit and regularly use a wet wash cloth to cool off and take it easy.
