00:00The French National Weather Service, Meteor France, has warned temperatures were breaking records for the month of May, soaring past
00:0830 degrees Celsius in many parts of the country and forecast the last into the week.
00:14Paris seared on the record May temperatures Monday as a strong heat wave continued in the French capital.
00:48Many Parisians and visitors were seen either taking to sunbathing or sheltering in the shade as the city reached highs
00:56of more than 33 degrees Celsius.
00:58It definitely makes me realise that it's happening everywhere. So in Australia we have a lot of bushfires or floods,
01:05quite often at the same time, just in different parts of the country.
01:08And I suppose when you come overseas so far away, it's 26 hours to get here from Melbourne, you realise
01:15that it really is the whole planet that's affected. It's not just us in our little island tucked away.
01:21Experts say unprecedented and deadly weather extremes that sometimes strike at abnormal times and, in unusual places, are putting more
01:31people in danger.
