Oh help, that’s too hot. Here in the U.K., it hit 90* but thank God we are back to normal 70*. I can handle that, so I am sorry I have no help. Hope someone can help as it seems a common problem in the States. Blessings Jimeka 🤗

70 is perfect weather

I'm luckier than many in that I just don't go out when it's hot. I don't know what to suggest.

[pamgarner in reply to NorasMom]

that is the smart answer👍

Sorry, when it's that hot I stay indoors with the AC and my fan. A spray bottle of water and those little battery operated fans are somewhat helpful outdoors. I've never actually tried any other cooling devices.

[pamgarner in reply to starlight5]

thank you

I usually stay in with the air conditioner or fan.

If I am out, I suffer.

My husband does most of the outdoor chores which is a Godsend and good entertainment when the red winged blackbird divebombs him.

🤣

I have a cooling "scarf" but have yet to use it.

[NorasMom in reply to falalalala]

My outside work is limited to "What's the temperature" and "How do I feel right now". Luckily, I'm Rural-Residential instead of HOA, so it doesn't really matter, but I usually only cut the front yard every 2 weeks and have begun just cutting paths through the back yard. My health is more important than what my neighbors think! When I mow, I stop when I've had enough regardless of how much still needs to be cut. I think this is the 4th year I've done this, and no complaints yet!

[falalalala in reply to NorasMom]

Yep!

[kdali]

I've used keto for years to help with heat tolerance, but have had to be quite strict this week 🥵

[pamgarner in reply to kdali]

you betcha!!

[kdali in reply to pamgarner]

I survived! 🎉🤣

Polar cooling vest outside and switch to a cooling towel when I come back in. And Drinking cold water. Fan when exercise inside.

[pamgarner in reply to erash]

sounds like a women of experience!

[erash in reply to pamgarner]

Florida sauna. Little choice 😝

[pamgarner in reply to erash]

i hear you sister!

[lbenmaor]

Oh my lord, that's too hot! Cooling Towels helps me .I bought it on Amazon. You rinse the towel out

and apply on your body. It's nice and cold.

[lbenmaor in reply to pamgarner]

You're Welcome.

[sweethunnie]

I try to avoid going places when it is super hot out but when I need to be outdoors, I will wear my cooling vest and carry a squirt bottle with a mister fan.

[pamgarner in reply to sweethunnie]

thank you i forgot about my mister fan😀

[kycmary]

When it is that HOT I stay in with the A/C & a fan going I can't handle those high temps. I do use cool ties in the summer so I can get out a little. Mary

[hairbrain4]

A cooling vest works great if you are outside or with no A/C. They make ice packs to wear under hats & wrist & ankle ice packs & also one for your neck. Drink LOTS of cool water & stay away from drinks with caffeine & sugar as they will dehydrate you. We've been about 5 degrees cooler than where you are but with very high humidity. I used to live in the desert & could stand 100 degrees but when it gets up past 80 with the humidity here I feel like I can't breathe or walk another step.

[pamgarner]

Great tips, didn't think about ice pack under hat and neck
