From the 15th July, to the 12th August, the average high in Moscow was 35C and the low 21C. The heatwave lasted a couple of weeks longer than that, but not quite as hot.

Last summer, the area hit 104 degrees three days in a row, but I was out of town so I cannot count that stretch...also, it cooled off quicker than this stretch. The entire summer of 2007 was the hottest I ever recall.
This week in July 1979 had my location's highest temp. Not sure if it was the hottest week however. Jets is there an easy way of searching EC records for something like that???
The most god awful heat that I've felt here was when we hit officially a *feels like* of 48C (unofficially it was 50 in our valley). Over a three week period the humidex kept rising until we hit jungle like conditions. Our crops were harvested at the end of July that year .... normally it is closer to mid September.
The highest temperature ever recorded in Saskatchewan—indeed in all of Canada—was observed at Yellow Grass and Midale on July 5, 1937, when the temperature hit 45.0°C Yellow Grass is about 110 km from my location.
Can't find records for the whole week however.

The Russian heatwave of 2010 was definitely one of the most extreme weather events in our lifetimes.
The Russian drought of 2006 was even more extreme from my perspective. It led to widespread forest fires, with over 20 different fires near the Finnish border. The smog spread with the wind all the way to Helsinki, and even Sweden, obscuring the sky and you could smell the fire, ash and smog for over a week.

In 2007 Rockglen probably topped that:

Blistering heat broke records again Tuesday from the northern Plains to the shore of Hudson Bay. An automated Canadian weather station at Rockglen, Saskatchewan recorded an unofficial high of 115 (degrees). Had that reading been official, it would have exceeded Canada's highest temperature ever: 113 (degrees) set on July 5, 1937.
That article is dead wrong. Anyone can go look up the temperature in Rockglen, Saskatchewan in 2007, and as you can see, the temperature was not particularly hot that month. The actual temperature on that date was 101F.
