Coping with the heat?
Discussion
I like the heat more the older I get. Today I have mowed two lawns, went for a quick 2.5 mile run, took the 7 out for an hours blat then pumped up my daughters paddling pool and filled it ready for her and a friend to play in after school. Now just chilling and hoping for a thunderstorm to hit
It's the nighttime were I struggle, got a fan at the end of the bed ready to keep me cool tonight

Two greyhounds, panting and moaning. Still too hot for a cool down shower. Had one after work and sweating faster than i could towel off.
The only weather you can do nowt about, cold? pull on a coat, wet pop up the brolly. though it rained so hard my brolly broke and got soaked, snow woo yay car fun time. Heat? Once you are down to your shorts nowt you can do. By a pool / see lovely. At home in the UK? Pure hell. Did ask the wife to shave my head, apparently i would look a tt bald, bit shocked i thought i was already a tt?

I've lived in a few hot places over the years. If you have young kids who aren't sleeping in the heat, here's a little trick.
Get a bath towel, dampen it lightly in cold water, and lay it over them like a blanket. The dampness will feel cool for them, then as they sleep, the water will evaporate keeping them cool for longer. A fan in the bedroom helps.

I made the mistake of going to Holborn from Kew Gardens today. If I hadn't had a bottle of water with me I probably would have ended up being sick and/or passing out, and while I don't like hot weather I'm not normally that bad.
Just not going to bother venturing out of the flat this weekend, let everyone else enjoy the heat, I'll stay indoors and hope winter comes early.
