"In Moscow, terrible heat yesterday we went with my granddaughter to the huge shopping center near my house. We were there almost 6 hours, ate lunch I bought two good dresses for me for the summer. With this climate change I do not know what to expect from the summer in Brazil. Every day heat in the shade of more than 38-39 degrees you can imagine. My granddaughter does not want to go out to the street, because the heat is insupportable."
