The discussion becomes more intimate when focusing on residents like Fion, a single mother living in a modest two-room rental flat. She shares her daily battle with the scorching heat:

Her story underscores the health risks immigrant families face during extreme heatwaves, especially when they lack access to modern cooling systems.
