Big City Blues? Or Cheap and Cheerful Motoring? Parisians Now Have Nearly 4 Years Experience with Bluecars
Paris has recently had two periods in August with exceptional temperatures. August 1998 and 2003. In the summer, Paris is usually a little bit warmer than London but in those year Parisians got more than they bargained for with temperatures over 40 deg centigrade. That was bad enough, but the combination of the heat and the strong sunlight produzed high levels of ozone which reacted with gases from motor vehicle exhausts to produce an acrid and irritating atmoshere.
