Yes, the last year heat wave killed a large number of people, mainly because they didn't drink enough !!!!!!!!!!!!!! <img src="images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
I wanted to add some dehydrated water in my kit, but could not find a distributor, here in France. Do you have any addresses on the Net ?? <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
More seriously, it's a sad thing than many people died just because they didn't think to hydrate themselves correctly.... or that nobody take care of that for them (in case of elderly or sick people).
About air conditionners :EDF (our main electricity provider) fears that there could be problem regarding power consumption, if a new heat wave happens and if everybody install air conditionners.
We came really close to an electricty crisis last summer.
