7th July - Today's News: Blackouts as Heatwave Hits New York

Pretty warm across many parts of the N Hemisphere at the moment:

As New York City temperatures hit 103 degrees; thousands lose power

"It's just too hot" East coast scorched by heat

DC region sweats out a triple-digit heatwave

Heat wave blankets Ontario, Quebec

Meanwhile, China on heatwave alert as temperatures soar whilst for Beijing, heat wave in China brings hottest day in 60 years with the temp hitting 111f. Ouch! I think I'd rather move to Australia where Alice Springs has just had it's coldest day on record.

In Spain, mercury rises to 44c in the shade

And in Vietnam: record hot weather sears northern, central regions

Slightly bizarre: man freezes to death in Taiwan heatwave whilst hundreds drown during Russian heatwave

Hosepipe ban will hit millions as UK basks in driest spell for nearly 71 years - but don't worry, there's plenty of rain on the way for most of us.

Tornado hits Kent - well, a funnel cloud actually ....
