You're right about that, of course, though it's much less severe in Marseilles
than it is in much of France. We're just having normal July weather, warm,
certainly, but not suffocating.

Yesterday in Carpentras two little boys left too long in a very hot car died
from overheating. We don't yet know why their mother left them so long. Maybe
just stupid; maybe something worse.

Many years ago, just after I was married for the first time in 1968, my then 
wife and I came across a closed car in a car park in Windsor with a child
inside. We couldn't get into the car, but when the mother arrived we told her
that she had done something very dangerous. She was very angry and told us to
mind our own business. There is really no limit to how stupid people can be. 
(Of course, what counted as a very hot day in Windsor probably wouldn't be
considered very hot in Carpentras, but even in England it gets very hot in
the summer.)
