The weather here in Jurez has become unbearable. With no rains for over a year, the city is suffering from unusually hot weather. Some ligh

Summer has not even started yet, but temperatures have reached 40 degrees centigrade in the past three days. And people have been warned not to go out of their homes not if you walk on foot, at l
