Cold? We Got That. Heat? Sprinklers Set Off Automatically In A Brazil Mall Due To Extreme Heat

Rio de Janeiro may be almost 6,000 miles away from us here, and their weather polar opposite from us at the moment. We are in a polar vortex of extreme cold... I don't see that many people outside.

In Brazil? 122 degrees Fahrenheit! It was so hot, that a sprinkler system was set off automatically inside a large shopping mall. The shopping Leblon complex experienced the issue for about 20 minutes until officials were able to shut down the sprinkler system. Click here to watch a clip filmed at that time by a shopper.

Which is worse in your opinion, extreme heat, or extreme cold? I personally would rather be baking than freezing. I think it is far easier to cool down than it is to warm up. Of course, I think the majority of us would all agree that somewhere in-between, and not to either extreme is the best scenario.
