AMES, Iowa (CNN) - When it’s so hot it feels like an oven, why not dress the part?

A police officer in Ames is poking fun at the heat by wearing oven mitts as a joke.

The city has a new record high for August 23 after hitting about a hundred degrees.

It’s so hot some schools are canceling classes and a local ice cream shop is closed until Friday. The owners of the ice cream shop say they’re worried the heat could break their outdoor cooler.
