Rodane Henry has spent almost 10 years living in Europe, but the Portmore native says this summer’s heat in Paris, France, has left him considering something he never expected – taking a trip back to Jamaica for relief.

Henry, 29, first moved to Europe to pursue his bachelor’s degree in England before later settling in Paris, where he now works in technology. He said he is used to cold winters and warm summers but the recent heatwave has felt different.

“At this point, I am seriously thinking about going back to Jamaica for a little bit,” Henry said. “Imagine leaving Jamaica and France is the place making you run from heat. But that is how bad it feels. It feels like I am living in hell. It’s almost metal tournament.”
