There is currently an historic heat wave hitting North America. Indeed, in some regions, such as Oregon, Washington State and some parts of Canada, temperatures have reached even up to 50 degrees Celsius.

Some regions are not used to that type of heat and don't even have an air conditioner system! People are trying to keep cool as much as they can, but as you will see in these 15 pictures - it is not easy!

1. Anything can become a pool when you really need it. 

Just like this skateboard track!
