The 2003 European heat wave also known as 'The Great Drought or The Big Heatwave in the UK' was one of the hottest summers on record in Europe. The heat wave led to health crises in several countries and combined with drought to create a crop shortfall in Southern Europe. 35,000 people died as a result of the heat wave.

In 2003, 35,000 people died as a result of the heat wave. European heat wave was also known as "The Great Drought" Though, in France, most of the people, who died, were elderly.

I know this one too! A heat wave - I was in France at the time and I got heat stroke. Not fun.
The heat wave of August 2003 caused a hecatomb in France. Its extent and consequences (INVS 2003) require analysis in order to understand why such a situation occurred and how to avoid that the same medical disaster will be caused in the future by identical climatic conditions. This natural disaster had no known precedent in France. The heatwave lasted for three weeks in August 2003 and led to 14800 deaths. However, the human toll of this catastrophe cannot be explained solely by the violence of the attack. Any analysis of this dramatic crisis, as for any public health threat, should take into account the agent involved, the population concerned, the specific relation between the agent and the target, and, based upon this, the crisis management needed. The analysis presented in this article, following the described line, shows that the crisis management was far from optimal. Learning from this situation should allow us to do better, next time such a climatic catastrophe occurs. A key factor is promoting adequate citizen response.Now onto the next trivia question, a sex symbol of France!!!
the european heat wave?
A heat wave?
2003 European heat wave also known as 'The Great Drought or The Big Heatwave in the UK' Quoted by DR. Adam Relton was one of the hottest summers on record in Europe. The heat wave led to health crises in several countries and combined with drought to create a crop shortfall in Southern Europe. 35,000 people died as a result of the heat wave.

A heat wave caused that insane amount of death.
In France, 14,802 people—mostly elderly—died from heat, according to the country's largest funeral service.France does not commonly have very hot summers (seven days with temperatures of more than 40 °C (104 °F) were recorded in Auxerre, Yonne between July and August 2003), particularly in the northern areas. As a consequence, most people do not know how to react to very high temperatures (for instance, with respect to rehydration), and most homes and retirement homes are not equipped with air conditioning. Furthermore, while there are contingency plans for a variety of catastrophes and natural events, high heat had never been considered a major hazard and so such plans for heat waves did not exist at the time.
Some could argue that this lethal warming is part of the much larger "greenhouse gas" based global warming. In any event, this situation resulted in the deaths of (primarily senior citizens) thousands.
