I am from Eastern Europe and this is the hottest summer on my memory. For at least 3 consecutive years the heat is breaking all records.

This stuff is unbearable, I can’t even play video games on my laptop, because it warms up very fast and the keyboard becomes uncomfortable for me to use.

So, could you please share any useful tips on how do you survive the summer?

    If the dew point is favorable at least, then drinking Hot Coffee and let myself sweat in front of an Electric Fan. If it is very humid, Ice on neck or taking a cold shower.

    If I had to go outside or Air conditioning at the office broke, then I’d wear light clothing where sweat is easier to evaporate

    Otherwise, I’d just use air conditioning and eat up the electricity cost, fuck this weather.

      Drinking hot liquids is the last thing you should be doing if you are trying to cool yourself down.

      If you are looking to evaporation to cool you then splashing some water on you and sitting in front of the fan is a better idea.
