Cool cloths help even in humidity--dampen them and apply them to face and neck, wrists and hollows of the elbows. So does wearing loose cotton clothing and keeping a spray bottle of water handy. If you have pets, make sure they have plenty of water, and sponge them off if they'll allow it.
This has been a message from a place where your temperatures are low-average for this time of year. (Hit over 40C week before last.)
Right now I am loving my office air conditioning. But I'll definitely keep all this in mind when I go home! Especially the spray bottle -- excellent plan. Thank you!
(My parents suggested that I could come up to the cottage for the night, and I still might... not that it's much cooler there, but at least there's a lake to jump into. And it FEELS cooler. None of that urban heat island effect.)
I talked to her and John on the phone and she was trying to make out that it wasn't really that bad. *insert skepticism here* And Helen said they went to Bulk Barn in the morning, where there is air conditioning.
Inertia has triumphed; I'm staying in town, will go over to John and Helen's and watch TV and eat chicken.
