35 degrees and it’s just the beginning. I can’t understand how anyone can be outside by their own will like this (unless you’re forced to work in those conditions, construction workers and similar).

    I hate the heat too, I’d rather it was below freezing. That being said, I think so many of us at least in the US spend so much time in temperature controlled spaces that it makes it harder to deal with. There’s kids in my neighborhood but you’d never know it unless the outside temperature is between 70 and 80 degrees. I’m gonna sound like the old fart here but I’ve never lived in a house with central air, never went to a school that was air conditioned and until recently never had a work van with working AC. Like a lot of modern conveniences they make us lose our ability to cope. People have been around a lot longer than these comforts. Rant over.
