    Temperatures rose to about 36 degrees Celsius in most parts of the country and put thousands of people in search of somewhere to cool off.
    Downtown Warsaw emptied and ponds in parks filled with residents looking for a break from the heat. While some sought relief from the heat, others made the most of it and sunbathed.
