Russians are facing their worst heat wave in a hundred years, as temperatures reached 35 degrees in some cities on Thursday. In Moscow, a record of 1917 was broken.

In Moscow, where temperatures fell to minus 40 degrees last winter, on July 3 temperatures rose to 32.7 degrees, breaking a 1917 record for that day by half a degree, the meteorological center FOBOS said.

Records were broken from Russia's Pacific coast and the Siberian and European parts of Russia, FOBOS said.

The hot weather has greatly increased the demand for air conditioners and fans. In Moscow, citizens ordered record amounts of ice cream and cold alcoholic drinks. Passengers on the subway and in many trains were served water.

The mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin, called on citizens of the Moscow metropolitan area, which has a population of about 20 million, to be careful and not go outside in the heat of the day.

"During the day, the air temperature will exceed the climatic norm and will rise again to 30 degrees," Sobaynin said.

For Friday, meteorologists in Russia predicted possible storms and hail./ REL
