Record Heat In Moscow – for Aug. 2, 2010

Moscow sweltered last Monday through its hottest day since records began 130 years ago, as temperatures hit 37.4 C, sparking peat fires that blanketed the city in smog. A heat wave has engulfed central parts of European Russia, and Siberia since June, destroying crops covering an area the size of Portugal.
