Reports like this have lots of people searching for the temperature in Tokyo. It's worth mentioning that Denver is also experiencing its share of heat. The Mile High City smashed its 145-year-old record high on last week with a 100 degree day on Wednesday.

Fridays high temperature in Tokyo was 93 degrees Fahrenheit, however, since it's a lot more humid there than in Denver, it felt closer to triple digits.
