In Prague is a such heat...
... that the world famous Astronomical Clock was stopped. It was yesterday afternoon, between 2 and 3 PM.
Fortunately it was not a big problem. The heat 30°C / 88°F caused that wheels in this medieval mechanism stretched and wheels stopped. So the visitors didn’t saw a traditional every-hour march of the Saints.
The technician who keeps the clock had to readjust the mechanism, so the clock operates normally now. Next resetting will be perhaps in the autumn.
