Moscow endures record heat wave

Residents of Russia’s capital are wilting under hot temperatures that Wednesday hit an all-time high for June since records started being kept. The afternoon temperature of 34.8 Celsius edged above the 34.7 C recorded in 1901, according to Roman Vilfand, scientific director of Russia’s meteorological service. He said the heat is due to a stationary anticyclone hovering over the European section of Russia. Temperatures in June average about 22 C and many residents weren’t adapting well. “This is hell, plain hell,” said Tanya Tretyakova.
