People from the "hotter" regions, how do you deal with the heat? (lemm.ee)

I am from Eastern Europe and this is the hottest summer on my memory. For at least 3 consecutive years the heat is breaking all records.

This stuff is unbearable, I can't even play video games on my laptop, because it warms up very fast and the keyboard becomes uncomfortable for me to use.

So, could you please share any useful tips on how do you survive the summer?

It feels pretty good to dip your hands or feet in a bowl of ice water after being outside

Fan + spray bottle filled with room temperature water. Divine

Are you in a humid area?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 years ago

Actually yes - it's definitely less effective when the humidity is super high, but usually on those days the temperature is also lower. Still works if the fan is strong enough.

Air conditioner... After moving to Europe I'm amazed by how people are so miserable and complaining every day for 1 to 2 months, then just repeat it over and over every year.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Winter is coming soon enough and you'll have shitty weather again for the next 10 months.

I live in Florida and while this summer has been unusually hot.. it's not that bad. You just get used to the heat. Also make sure you have good A/C in your home & car lol
