Imagine polar bears diving into pools to cool off! 🐻❄️ That's the scene unfolding in Russia's Far East as an unexpected heatwave sends temperatures soaring above 30°C.
On Monday, Novosibirsk sizzled as the mercury climbed past 30°C, drawing crowds to beaches, riverbanks, and fountains in search of relief. Locals weren't the only ones feeling the heat—animals at the city's zoo, including polar bears, couldn't resist a refreshing plunge. 🏖️🐾
But while the sun brings fun, it also raises concerns. To keep everyone safe, the local government has dispatched rescue teams to patrol popular cooling spots, ensuring that everyone—from sunbathers to swimmers—can enjoy the weather without worry. 🚤👮
The warm spell isn't over yet! According to Russia's meteorological department, temperatures in many cities across the Far East could spike to around 37°C in the coming days. That's a scorching 6 to 8 degrees higher than usual! 🔥☀️
So, if you're in the area, slather on that sunscreen, stay hydrated, and maybe take a cue from the polar bears—find the nearest pool and dive in! 💦😎
