Heat Wave Brings Spam

A heat wave has hit Russia hard. It has gotten worse and has led to forest fires. Extremely high temperatures across western Russia have reached 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit), causing death and creating the worst drought since 1972. The weather is too hot for plants to grow and the water has evaporated, killing fish. It is possible that this natural disaster and food shortages will push inflation up later in the year. However, the Internet economy has not been damaged by burning hot weather at all; spammers are taking this opportunity to promote products such as air conditioners for hot seasons or tropical zones.
