"NOT AS HOT AS BAGHDAD"

But hot enough for us to empathize...

Well, at least it’s not as hot as Baghdad.

While it’s not 115 degrees, U.S. troops and family members in Europe are still sweltering as temperature gauges registered in the 90s and higher for the third straight day. And there’s no end in sight.

The intense heat wave that has baked much of Europe for weeks is fueling deadly forest fires, causing droughts and damaging crops.

The U.S. Air Forces in Europe Operational Weather Squadron said the recent record-breaking weather is uncommon.
