A boy plays in the water from a fountain at a shopping complex in Tokyo, Tuesday. The temperature in the metropolitan area climbed to nearly 36 degrees Celsius.

Saw something similar along the seafront in Southend. Not as hot, though...

After living in the Tokyo humidity of hell last year this is the first ever UK summer that I've truly loved and truly appreciated! Perspective hey! :) Ahhh no humidity, 10 degrees lower, bright nights until 21:40, that thing called a breeze! Hehe! Erm..sorry peeps! On the other hand you lucky people don't have to deal with the hell and rudeness of London buses, awful customer service etc etc (I could go on for ages LOL) so it's swings and roundabouts! See you again one day Japan..you can count on that!

Your "pseudo" would suggest you're Italian and we Europeans COULD enjoy ourselves as kids but over here ? Even during the holidays they're supposed to study !

This looks like a lot of fun. The child is learning how to cool off. This is almost like summer school. and it's fun. We used to ride our bikes through the parks sprinklers, till we got yelled at...It was fun being a kid.
