Yep. It is hot now.
I remember every year that it takes all summer to get used to the heat. June feels unbearable hot, but by late August (when it is actually hotter) we are accustomed to it.

I grew up without a/c.
We would wet our hair, put cold compresses on . . .

This is how we almost managed. (Some nights we barely slept.)

Place or tie an icepack behind your head.
Wet all your hair, or just all along the hairline in a pinch. The evaporation of the water will cool your head (though it may make your hair a bit frizzy if it's curly!).

Dry heat. Ack!! Yuck.
Even Long Island NY felt dry to me after living in the South.
And when I was in San Diego and Nevada for visits, I was miserable.
Dry heat feels worse to me. I don't know why that is.

Exactly.
I felt like I was choking.
And my skin was a mess.

I dislike humidity,and drier heat isn't likeable either. I agree with you all.
I just hate humidity though. I've heard about the humidity in Long Island,and that it is just as bad where I live.

Mari You didn't have air conditioning when you were growing up!!! That must have been awful. BF

We managed.
We cooled off by taking showers, slowing down in the afternoons, . .

Sometimes, my parents had one room that they cooled with a window unit a/c. Sometimes they used it and we hung out in there.
That helped.

We are getting rained on very hard. The local creeks are flooding. Di. I think that it's headed your way. I'm starting to get use to the humidity. BF

Went to AZ a number of years ago and got caught in a dust storm at the air port. That did suck the air from you. Very weird. Fl. is nice these days, 80's and sunny. ginnie
