Tens of millions of people in the northern hemisphere have been suffering through intense heat this summer as the world appears headed for its hottest July on record.
ATHENS - Greece was Saturday facing its hottest July weekend in 50 years, with temperatures forecast to soar above 40 Celsius , while a record-breaking heat wave stretching across the southern United States was expected to expand in the coming days.
There were hellish scenes in the city on Thursday when a fierce blaze erupted at a propane business near the international airport, sending tanks exploding into the air. The effects cannot be attributed solely to the El Nino weather pattern, which "has really only just emerged" and isn't expected to strengthen until later on in the year.
The exceptional temperatures also mean key tourist sites such as the Acropolis will be closed during the hottest part of the day.
