Despite greenery and water features: We measure up to 42 degrees in parts of the city center. Thirsty people rarely get a free glass of water in restaurants. But those suffering from the heat can find refuge in "cool zones". 

Temperatures have been climbing above 30 degrees for several days in a row and the heatwave shows no sign of abating. High time to unpack our electronic measuring device. The city is sweltering this afternoon as we make our way into the city center.
