answer:The weather here can be very harsh at times, even if it is supposed to be a fairly safe and enjoyable holiday destination. Our heat waves can reach as high as 46c, each year a few people die from it. Also, over the last 20 years or so, our winters have got much colder. There would still be people swimming this time of year a couple of decades ago, now you would die after 10 to 15 minutes of being in the water. While the winter does not really get much colder than say 0c to 5c, our houses and buildings are built for a steady warm climate. This is a problem, because recently, over the last 15 years or so, we have been getting surprise storms, strong enough to uproot trees. These storms also cause some deaths each time they happen, be it trees falling on cars or hitting houses, or just plain increased traffic accidents. The harshest part is by far the heat waves, they just make being alive a chore.
