My thoughts as well. I mean if they were not wise enough to reconsider hiking, in a desert , in triple digit temps . Maybe we should have just left them out there ......

It's sad, isn't it? I do understand there are people who NEVER read or listen to the news. Those people do exist. But you'd think after so many years of news stories about heat deaths in print, online, on radio and on TV, something would have gotten through.

One good reason to move east was to get away from the high heat. The weather is a lot cooler.

A second elderly person has died from heatstroke in Cyprus as a week long heatwave brings record temperatures to the region.
An 84-year-old woman died a day after being admitted to hospital on Friday, State Health Services Organisation spokesman Charalambos Charilaou said.
He added that three elderly patients were also left in serious condition as temperatures soar past 40C (104F).
Fires continue to rage through parts of the island, with firefighting teams hampered by the heat and strong winds.
Southern Europe has been buffeted by record temperatures in recent days, threatening to spark more fires and bringing risk of heat-related illness and death.
Meanwhile, Britain continues to experience unseasonably low temperatures, caused by a jet stream pulling Arctic Air south, and heavy rain, which meteorologists say has been caused by climate change.
Firefighters in Cyprus have struggled to battle spreading fires and strong winds this week
Again they're blaming climate change. I don't doubt it exists... but I've been to Cyprus several times, the last time we went was 2005, and the temperature then was over 40 deg C.. 104/5 degrees.. my husband said he'd never been anywhere as hot... and that was in early May almost 20 years ago... so it hasn't changed
