At the Olympic Games in Paris, we can see that some athletes are struggling with the heat in France. In some countries, such as Italy or Spain, there are currently some warnings about extreme heat.

Make sure to always drink enough and protect yourself from the sun. In the shade, you can take a closer look at this map of the highest officially measured temperatures in Europe.

    Don’t just drink water. Eat some light snacks too. You want to balance out the electrolytes you lose through sweat as well as the water. Peanuts are what i used to snack on in iraq when it was 50°.

      Electrolytes? Nice for having a cold Brawndoo then

        Might I recommend a refreshing cup of Gatorwine, half Gatorade half red whine.

            I know how it sounds, but half cheap red whine half blue Gatorade works! It’s a poor man’s sangria

              And here I was, thinking Tetra Pak sangria is the poor man’s sangria.

                The real poor man’s sangria is a random collection of bulk fruit “juices” fermented and then back sweetened shortly before consumption.

              We used to drink vodka mixed with Gatorade when I was clubbing. It helped with the hangovers.
