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?

how do people deal with the cold

The good old you can always add more layers. The coldest temperature I ever experienced in my region was -26°C, the hottest just over 40. Between the two, I much prefer the former.

But then again, it just boils down to what you're used to. Our winters have always been on the harsher side, and I'm not even far up north.

Every new heatwave has me holding on for dear life. Judging by recent years, my body will have to adapt sooner than later, otherwise I'm going to have a really bad time going forward.

Yeah unfortunately as cultures get air conditioners, they can take more heat as a society, but individually most people don't ever truly be hot adapted. Then you get a place where people run from their ACd job to their ACd carto their ACd grocery store and finally get to heir ACd house.

This is the main reason I don't like cold weather. I hate layers! :)

My issue with hot weather is that around 25°C i run out of layers to remove to stay comfortable, and I can't even get to that point if I'm anywhere outside my own home because running around naked in public is sadly not socially acceptable. So when temps reach 35 outdoors I just feel like dying as even indoors tends to heat up to >30 if the temps stay for a few days.
