I used to suffer big time in the summers in London. I'm a light sleeper so if I had the windows open I'd keep getting woken up by the plebs walking by late at night when they walked past my apartment block after drinking. I bought 2 fans to cool down the room and also to drown the noise out.
Now, I live in the countryside in a house which not only has cooler nights, but means I can have windows open both sides of the house and have the air run through, and it also be silent and dark at night. Fully recommend.

When I'm at work I have it set to 79 but it's a huge difference coming in when it's 93 out...then I drop it to 74 for the night/evening.

Whatever it takes to get cooled off, man. Downside of rain during a heat wave is that it cranks the humidity up to near unbearable levels.

AB is making me think of all of the cool hot weather songs I can think of now...this one is for you, man.
Of course because I'm a fan of sampling, one part at 54 seconds into that. We get what I call a modern R&B classic:
That Intro track was inspired by a rap track originally....

If you are going to be silly and drink beer in 90-100+F weather, do yourself a favor and drink a wheat beer. Like a Hefeweizen type beer. Anything else and you are flirting with heat stroke danger for no good reason.
I used to be a huge beer snob, maybe worse than Suits, and never touched hefeweizen unless it was summer time. In Houston, if you drink porters and heavy ales in the heat, you could pass out from just working in your garage.
Be smart fellas..

Definetely not a heat wave in Portugal, temperatures as we speak are roaring 20 degrees celsius and honestly I haven't felt that the summer has started here.
May was shit and so was June and usually by March/April we start going to the beach here. I guess when things are upside down when scandinavian countries are warmer than here for more than a few days

It will hit the 90s again in Boston. It's super weird since just 4 months ago it was -5 F.
I miss Albania, the mediterranian climate to my opinion is the best!
I join the folks saying stay away from alcohol during the heat, it makes things worse. Water water, plenty of water. Fruits like melons or watermelon to add liquids to your body.
Leave your AC on even if you're not in the house, so it doesn't have to catch up from 90s and bring it down to the 70s. I leave mine at 74 and it feels great inside. Avoid working out or running, the air quality is so bad your breathing would suffer, thus you won't be working out your muscles but stressing them.
Get to a pool or the beach, keep your body inside water. Take 2-3 baths a day, helps your skin breathe better.
Stay cool fellas!

Dude, it's called SUMMER.

This warrants an intervention by the French Grammar Gendarmerie Lizard, it's
languor, not longueur (=length in French), from the French verb languir, which means to languish.

Get some talcum powder on your thighs and balls.
The chefs know what I'm talking about.
Us British will always complain about the weather. Whatever it is, it's too much. I think we just want 20C/68f and a bit of rain overnight to keep it a green and pleasant land. My back garden is a shambles, it's practically hay by now. Kona would neutral rep me if he ever saw it.

I am back in West Virginia for my mother's funeral. I saw a clock/thermometer that said 98. I don't ever remember seeing one that hot around here.
My brother decided to cancel a graveside service because of the weather. I am handling everything in stride. I love hot weather.

Thanks -- "languor" would be fitting here as well, but I do mean
longueur. It's a literary term for a lengthy or tedious passage in text, which certain hours of a long, hot, and solitary summer day are likened to in my post.

longueur (plural longueurs)
A lengthy passage in a dramatic or literary work, especially a dull or tedious one; a period of boredom.
