Extreme heat wave in Europe

An extreme heat wave is baking Europe today, and at least five countries have a chance at setting a new all-time national heat record. The most likely candidate is Liechtenstein, where the forecast for Balzers Sunday calls for a high of 95°F. According to wunderground's International Records database maintained by our weather historian, Christopher C. Burt, the current all-time heat record for Liechtenstein is 36°C (96.8°F) set at Vaduz on August 13, 2003.

We are so accustomed to access here. If not at home, then in businesses or malls. Plus no ADA requirement there, so elderly and disabled are out of luck in multi story walk ups dating to pre WWII.

Glad this geezer is here with mobility access when things get really hot.
