How to deal with heat?

[Aeolienne]

Don't drink a lot of sugar or caffeine.

drink ice coffee with milk and sugar if you're at home or if you want to go to Starbucks

Hmm...

It is hot here tonight and I am munching on watermelon for dessert while the AC blows on me.

I want an ice cold beer, but my alcoholic tendencies mean that is a bad idea.

Also, ice water will not dehydrate me the way that booze will.

Sounds like you are coping. We are near the coast it seems to lessen the temperature highs, in Northern UK, traditionally a colder area, it's due to be 35 and 37 degrees next week. I don't recall such high temperatures ever, here. Climate change is not a myth...

Triple digits these days in the High Desert. Gotta have central A/C, a ceiling fan running all the time in the living room, (thermostat set to 80 degrees) and a fan running at night in the bedroom when I go to bed. Though when I go to bed, I turn the A/C off. On occasion I have sleepless nights as well.

In getting older I have to be careful about how much I stay out in the hot weather. Can't handle it as well as I used to. Tempted sometimes to walk to the store to save gas...but that walk can be precarious depending on how hot it may be.

But it's a dry heat! Though it seems as time goes on, it doesn't cool off so much at night.

I carry a spray bottle of cold water at work to spray myself with to cool down i work in a school with no a/c
