Japanese businessmen nap on benches at a park Thursday as a heat wave continues in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Hot air has been hovering near Japan for a week, drying out farms, killing tens of thousands of chickens and choking off running water.

The heat has caused water levels in reservoirs to reach dangerously low levels.
