| Red heat in Europe killed the green agenda |

| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Elena Karaeva [RIA] Tourists who flood the cities and coasts of the Old World at this time of year are fleeing and canceling bookings. Admiring ancient stones and monuments in the heat of 40 degrees Celsius and above is a dubious pleasure, if not deadly at all. Heat and sunstroke can be fatal. Europeans, though not far-sighted in mind, are practical in everyday life. To die from the heat, admiring the Acropolis or the Roman ruins, and even for big money, there are no fools. The tourism industry cries bitter tears (Russian tourists, if not for the restrictions, could fill the cash boxes), but sees no way out: it can do nothing but distribute water and fans. |

| #6 40 degrees Celsius = 104F It's been that since the start of June at my house by noon. There was a reason for siesta. While stationed in the Med, the locals had lunch, went home, and didn't open for business till much later. They stayed up late with dinner at 8 or 9. |

| #5 Kids are out of school in summer. You are less likely to have to drive thru a snowstorm in summer. |

| #4 Reality has a way of doing that. I never really understood the fixation of vacationing at the height of summer. Unless you're someplace that actually doesn't have a summer to speak of. Spring and autumn are much nicer I would have thought. |
