French authorities are keeping an eye on isolated elderly populations and advising people to drink fluids as temperatures soar in the country. Heatwave warnings were issued for a swath of central and southern France, from Burgundy to the Pyrenees. The government is determined to avoid a repeat of the summer of 2003, when about 15,000 people died during a heat wave.
