Definitely have struggled too. I do wonder how much is due to dehydration and losing salts in sweat. I'm sure its all having a knock on effect. It's almost like I have a window of operation this heat is not a window that I'm able to function in.

I have been experiencing the same problem and have been feeling quite rough in this heat. Perhaps the fact that it has been so hot for many weeks has made the levothyroxine less effective? Although I am sure I have read somewhere that some people find they need less thyroxine in hot weather.
