Searing North Africa Heat

6/20/2007 3:00 PM

Temperatures soared again Wednesday as the heat waxed to a blazing pitch over Algeria, Tunisia and Libya. Readings topped 115 degrees in all three countries. In Libya, the capital city, Tripoli, was a hot spot with 117 degrees, or nearly 25 degrees above normal for the end of spring.

Sorry not to have picked up the travel story again — so jet-lagged still… but STAY TUNED.
