Tokyo, Japan had hit 95 degrees for an unprecedented 9 days in a row.

The average July high is 85°.

Records date back to 1875. Anomalously hot weather occurs every summer — after all, the ups and downs smooth to an average — but climate change is amplifying severity/duration. https://t.co/FsDucGatsE pic.twitter.com/WD2ayZRgV5
