Woah, pretty impressive! They can get quite warm weather over in Russia as they have alot of land and Moscow is quite far in-land. Though saying that, it's location regarding the Arctic is pretty impressive for 37.4C, especially as the weather lady said it's meant to be about "23/24C", and the cold usually reaches down that far, even though Moscow is about as down south as most parts of England

That is quite something! All those crops being destroyed. Bet there is a run on summer clothes there.

Yeah I'm in Russia atm, although not in Moscow, but its way hotter over here in this city than it is in Moscow and tbh it annoys me when people think its constantly cold in Russia. Its cold in Winter, but not in the Summer.
