Any top tips for coping in the hot weather in a city please?

[Frumpyfish in reply to Sally426]

hello Sally426. I also struggle in the heat and live in a city. I try to make sure I avoid public transport at peak times when it is really hot as I find it quite stressful. I know you can't walk everywhere but I do try in summer - even if I have to walk in the shade. I also make sure I wear comfy clothes. I try to worry less about what I look like. Thirdly, I try to slow down and do a bit less. It isn't always possible but I do it anyway. Cities are not nice places when it is really hot. Too many people.
