Paris heat deaths: Living under zinc roofs 'like a sauna'

**PARIS** – Thousands of people have died in France this summer as record temperatures swept the country. Now, new figures show that living under one of Paris's iconic zinc rooftops makes death four times more likely. "It is like a sauna," said Anna-Lena Johansson, 54, a Swedish resident who is among the many people struggling to cope with the heat. The zinc roofs, a signature feature of the Paris skyline, trap heat and turn apartments below into ovens during hot weather. The finding highlights the deadly impact of extreme temperatures on the city's most vulnerable residents.
