That's what I'm saying, usually 105 degrees doesnt bother me this much. I dont like it when it's that hot, but it's never sucked the life out of me that quickly before.

I went outside with my mom when she took the puppy outside this morning, it was about 79* then, I ended up having to go inside after about a minute or two. Two weeks ago, I was going outside in 90* heat and enjoying it. (altho, I'd start to feel like yuck after about a half hour or so)

I have noticed we didnt have the humidity we have now back then. Is it the humidity doing this to me?

If I have to go anywhere during the heat of the day I start my car and let the A/C run full blast for about five minutes. Wherever I'm going I try to find a shady spot to park in and I crack the windows just a bit to let some of the heat escape. I'm never anywhere long so the car doesn't heat up as much.

It was still 89 degrees at 9 PM last night here. :eek: Tricia, I sympathize with you living in AZ.....I don't know how you stand that heat but I guess like anything you get used to it. We're getting a taste of what you have all the time. This heat wave has got to let up soon......and we need some rain here or my lawn is going to dry up!

I'm dreading my electric bill next month. My A/C runs nonstop during the heat of the day. I'm on budget billing ($166 a month) but it lists the actual amount and there's a running total of how much you owe due to the budget billing amount.

Six months till Christmas!!! :rolleyes:

Um, Kelly? You have humidity, we don't. That makes a huge difference. Of course, we don't have shade either so the car just sits in the blazing sun. OUCH! You learn to not touch anything metal when you get in the car and be careful when touching the steering wheel.;) We also have sunshades that we put in the windshield of the car (when it's parked) to help keep it cooler in the interior.

Now I'm noticing that the heat is making my vision a little dim. The light in my room is usually enough for me to read by, but now I'm having to use my book light to read my Kindle reader and other books.

I cant wait for fall. I like a constant 75* temperature, with the occasional rainstorm...and I'll still run the a/c during those kinds of temperatures.

This is interesting, I'm running a low grade temperature. (99*) Great...as if I'm not already hot enough...

I had to go to the Toyota dealership to get the a/c refreshed in my car. They didnt charge me for it, because they didnt refresh the freon/coolant. They told me that a fan had frozen over in the a/c because I had it on "fresh" air. Told me to run it on recirculated air and that made a BIG difference. I was getting kind of frosty on the way home from there. Good thing about that, a recharge of coolant would have been $160.

I figured out a good way to trick your brain into thinking you're cooler than you really are. Get a wet bandana. It doesnt have to be soaking, wrap it loosely around your wrist and tie it. The coolness from the damp fabric should last quite awhile, and all you need to do is re-wet it when it starts to dry or doesnt feel as cool.

I'm melting ...

My shoes are full of water.

I'm learning to like sitting on the floor in my room in just my underwear, with a floor fan and a ceiling fan and the a/c cranked down to 68. I still feel like it's super warm in here tho. Too freakin' hot!!

I HATE SUMMER!!!!

I just found all of you Googling heat intolerance. I'm in limbo land, but have "probable MS." It has been high humidity and even hit triple digits here in Boston this past week. I am toast. I make a quick dash in the early morning and that's usually it. :(

I'm wondering if the hot car itself really gets to any of you? I took a ride in an ambulance last week after sitting outside at a pool with my son. I got about halfway home, and had to pull over as I had vertigo, my eyesight wavered (I've had optic neuritis that took away a lot of vision in one eye), and I was sure I was going to pass out. I ended up calling 911. I was well-hydrated, had cooling neckband, and plenty to drink. I'm thinking of investing in an auto starter so I can pre-cool the car a bit and see if that helps.

I've noticed tremors and weakness after really brief heat exposure. We're talking a few minutes and I just feel very "off", even with AC on and other attempts to cool. When I went to the ER, my blood pressure was swinging all over the place, but they couldn't find anything technically "wrong." They gave me some Antivert, which took away the woozies, but just made me very sleepy.

Anyway, I feel so frustrated having to stay in most of the day. I can't wait until FALL! :D

Wanted to clarify: even though I have a newish car, it's as if the AC just isn't enough. I park in shade too, and leave windows cracked. It seems like even with the AC on Maximum cool, it just doesn't work well enough. :mad:
