I'm in the middle of Europe and it's not bad, the summer is actually pretty nice for my bad back that screams whenever it's cold. At most we had 38 I think, which is manageable. Now it's been raining for 2 days, and the random pressure variations are less to my liking.
On the hotter days it's just important to bring water everywhere and keep in the shadows wherever possible. I imagine it gets difficult in areas where the temps are much higher.
It’s been very warm, but for us it has been a weird year. Hardly any rain in the spring along with unseasonably warm weather and now we are getting the rain we would have gotten in the spring. Fortunately here, it cools down at night.
It was a few rough weeks some friends organized some money to purchase fans for those here who can't afford them to help. Lucky to live near a river where we can cool off but the next two weeks will be cooler
It's been up into the high 90's F (33+ C) Luckily I have mini-split air conditioning units in the various rooms of my home. We try to keep the bedroom cool with AC, fans, and blackout curtains. To conserve energy, we raise the temp during the daytime when not in the room. Similarly, we close off the rooms we aren't using and just us a reasonable AC temp in the occupied rooms.
I am thankful I work indoors in a temperature controlled environment, so I can't really complain. Been avoiding meals that require a lot of stovetop cooking to reduce heat from that source. Lastly, keeping a water source nearby and keeping hydrated.
I am more worried about my chickens. While they do have shade, it is still blazingly hot, so I have a cheap mister I found on Amazon that helps keep them cool.
If it's not hot, it is humid with storms. Been trying to avoid outdoor activities between 10 am and 7 pm.
