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?

Less traffic is something I didn't even think about, but that's absolutely a big added benefit. Especially when so many people don't seem to care about speed limits in construction zones. Well, here at least, I don't know about Australia.

I don't envy the people who do roadside work, it must be incredibly stressful. Hearing protection, helmet and visor protect them, but also make it harder to notice approaching traffic.

I would probably be jumpscared every time a truck suddenly appears in my peripheral.
