From the New Scientist. That's why all we read about is heat waves. They have to look very hard for one this year.

Hurray for Lapland. Those reindeer don't need sweaters this summer. Japan has the tiniest smudge, but it's big in the news.
Here they make a big deal about how more heat records are broken than cold records. 'Cold waves' never make it into the news.
Even if mile-high ice were to be descending on Toronto, we would have heatwaves in the summer. If you define them down to one day events, you will always get individual local records broken. A heatwave by that definition, occurs when you get direct sun and no moderating breeze from big lakes or the ocean.
