How are you all staying cool?

[magily]

Just read on CNN that the forecast tomorrow is to hit 39C hotter than Bangkok. So how are you keeping cool? Must be getting unbearable for some people especially if you have smog as well. Better than rain though.

if i get too hot a go for a drive in my car with the windows right up and the airconditioning on full blast

We had a bad thunderstorm here in Toronto last night. I hate the thunderstorms when the weather has been so hot, the only benefit is the temp is down from 35C to 28C here today.

Blackout blind is down on the front bedroom.........Iknow, I like the sun too....but it is on the front of the house all day so by bed time our bedroom is like Warby's bakery......I have a shower before bed....and stay damp.....take a damp facecloth and put it in the freezer for about an hour before I go to bed....and take it to bed with me and put it on my ankles.

Plenty of water or non carbonated soft drinks during the day......light loose clothes...and a sun hat is a MUST if you are outdoors.

Good morning Toronto! Down here in Virginia, USA, we're expected to hit 102 F (not sure what the Celsius reading is but very hot as well as wicked humid, nonetheless). It's very tough on my poultry, pets, and fruit trees. We've got very bad outbreak of Japanese Beetles that just love this weather. Just gotta grin and bear it. That's life on the farm!

I'm on factor 30, last thing I need is to get burnt

As high as possible...and you do still tan....but to be honest, tanning is not a good look unless it is the fake stuff...after all you don't want to look like a well used leather holdall when you are 50 do you?
