It's been so hot where I live this week that 30c sounds nice. It was 36c during the day yesterday but felt like well over 40c. It felt like an oven. It's 27c right now at 1:30 am. So here's some tips- Drink a lot of water. Stick to the shade. Keep a wet towel around your neck. I wet a baseball cap and wear it. Don't be in direct sunlight light for long. If you don't have a/c, I know most don't in UK, open two windows on the opposite side of the house to create a drafted. Hang and secure a wet towel over the window where the wind enters and it will act like a natural a/c. Won't do a ton but it will lower the temps inside a few degrees. That's all I got.
Blimey where are you?
Texas! It's a bit cooler today with a bit of rain in the forecast, thankfully. But I tell you what, you know how when you've been cooking something and you open the oven door and the heat hits your face? That's what it felt like walking outside this past week. Exactly like that. Try the window and towel thing, it really helps.
