For this year’s Olympics in Paris, French forecaster Météo France has already predicted warmer than normal conditions and said there is a 70% chance it will be hotter than usual in July and August.
This year more than 1300 people died in Makkah during Hajj Pilgrimage due to heat strokes. I’m hoping something similar happens during Olympics, in the hope that more people will realize how real this climate change is.
