I live in East coast of Florida, where the temps are moderated....so there's lots of inland areas now suffering much hotter than Florida.

All I can suggest is stay cool...and work to slow down global warming.

Work to "acclimate" yourselves...tolerate sweating. Where light colored clothing. Make sure that fan and AC has been "tuned up" so it won't die suddenly on you.

Remember; only 2 generations ago there was no such thing as air conditioning. And our ancestors survived the warmth for thousands of generations.

We can all do a token amount.

Plan our trips better. Use less fossil fuels. Waste less, recycle more.

It will continue to get hotter...and the "slope" of the increase isn't a straight line...it's curving more upwards every day.

Currently 85°, 73% humidity, "feels like" <heat index> of 94°. I stepped outside planning on ripping some lumber up for fence posts. Did an about face and returned to air conditioning. Nose running like a bandit. "Dust & Dander" measurement = extremely high. Dander?

.... but we still keep our vests on, mate. We don't want to catch cold! 😂🤣😜

Nah, "you keep your singlet on to stop the sweat running down your crutch and butt crack" - advice given to me by a young Australian working with me when I first arrived in Australia.
