Some perspective on the summer's current heat wave...

Apparently it's far worse in Russia where more than 1200 people have died this summer trying to cool down in various bodies of water. Not only that but people's shoes are literally sinking into melting tarmac as they try to walk around.

One map I saw put their average temperature about 10-20 degrees F above normal. We complain about the heat, but they have one of the hottest air masses - the Middle East - supplying their weather patterns with degrees.
