How are you dealing with the HIGH HEAT?

[AviatorTom]

In the US, much of the country is experiencing extremely high heat.

In the Southeast, where I live, daily temps soar into the mid 90sF (35C), with the heat index (what it feels like) up to 105F (41C). We've had some power outages as overloaded power lines sag into trees and trip offline.

Higher than normal temperatures is not limited to the US. Europe is also experiencing higher than normal temperatures. It has affected some of the riders in the Tour de France bicycle race.

Is it hot where you live? How do you deal with the heat?

Who ever heard of high temps in the summer? Must be global warming. LOL

It's been hot here this week where I live in California. 108 yesterday and today and supposedly 110 tomorrow. But we've been living here for 20 years and it's typical to have hot spells like this. It's why summer is my least favorite season.

I sit in front of my swamp cooler in the living room. We've had to run the window AC in our bedroom for the past few nights. It's actually pleasant in our house, but we use more electricity this time of year.

Neighbor has a pool and we are friends… happy we received an invite to join them!

We're currently dealing with 40mph winds blowing straight off the Atlantic and temperatures usually associated with April (13°C) .
It was red hot last month and I miss it.

I live in Florida and this isn't unusual. Stay inside during the middle of the day, dress appropriately, avoid the sun, pray our AC keeps working.

Says we are 23 Celsius but feels like 28 C due to the humidex. That's 82.5 F with humidex. So, not too bad in central Ontario.

Well, the higher you set the air conditioning the higher the load on the engine and the higher the load on the engine the more gas it uses. So yes, turning up the air conditioning costs more money in the long run.

[nolabels]

Yeah, that happens around this time of year.

We are having a not so hot summer. I just had central air conditioning installed in my house.

I’m in the Mid-South and it’s been hot for sure; 105 with the heat index. Love it.

[AngryCarl2]

UK here. Temperature is 90c but showers expected. Coping, but hard to know what to wear outside.

[AngryCarl2]

*temp should read 19c. Must be getting senile.

[Iron_Man]

We are having heat waves in Florida. It’s really hot every time I get in the truck my T-shirt gets soaking wet.

[Iron_Man]

Does putting the air conditioner on real high run up your gas ⛽️

[gorydetails]

I’m drinking beer and being in the water whenever possible.
