Moscow Storms Break Russia's Record-Setting June Heat Wave
----------------------------------------------------------

Monday, flooding streets and subway lines and uprooting trees. The
violent storm broke a record-setting heat wave that saw Moscow and St.
Petersburg reach their highest June temperatures on record. Last week, a
Siberian town above the Arctic Circle known for its extreme cold
temperatures recorded a peak ground temperature of 118 degrees
Fahrenheit.
