00:01With temperatures expected to approach 40 degrees Celsius in the coming days,
00:06many workers are already changing their routines.
00:08In the Bordeaux vineyards, the workday now begins before dawn.
00:12As the heat wave settles over much of France,
00:15wineries are moving up their seasonal workers' schedules
00:18to avoid the hottest hours of the day.
00:21Plutôt que de faire 8h midi, 14h, 18h,
00:24on passe à 6h30 le matin jusqu'à 14h30 l'après-midi maximum.
00:30But this change in schedule shouldn't make us forget
00:33the standard precautions when it comes to extreme heat.
00:36Ce qu'on leur demande, c'est toujours d'avoir un T-shirt,
00:40short quand il fait chaud,
00:41et surtout toujours une casquette se protéger
00:44et crème à bronzer pour éviter des coups de soleil et insolation.
00:49The alarm goes off earlier,
00:51but the seasonal workers aren't complaining.
00:53By starting their workday earlier,
00:55they avoid the crushing heat of the afternoon
00:57and can rest when temperatures become unbearable.
01:01On laisse l'après-midi libre pour se reposer pour le lendemain.
01:06Et là où il y a les températures,
01:08surtout en fin d'après-midi, c'est impossible.
01:11Across France, this heat wave is already disrupting daily life.
01:15In schools and on construction sites,
01:17schedules are being adjusted to avoid the hottest hours of the day.
01:21Public transportation is also being monitored.
01:25According to climatologists,
01:27these heat waves are occurring earlier in the year
01:30and are becoming more frequent and intense due to climate change.
01:33This phenomenon now affects much of Europe.
