The very old and the very young, sick and overweight people are most at
risk. And it could get worse. The weather experts say that we'll have
hotter summers and wetter winters in the next decade or two.
B The weather experts told us to expect higher temperatures than usual
this summer, with very little rain. They were right. With only 26mm of rain

D Sorry you couldn't come to visit, Bob, but maybe it was lucky. I know you

cooler when you do eventually visit, maybe in October.
