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?

In the southern US we have air conditioning everywhere. People avoid going outside except for very early or late in the day when the sun isn't on you. I try to get any yard work or anything outside down before 10am and avoid going outside the rest of the day.

Yesterday was actually a "nice" day where I'm at because the high was "only" 34C. People were outside enjoying it, but still avoided the sun and were mostly out in the morning and afternoon in shaded areas.

The weather has been so bad lately here in Texas. I was actually happy when I saw it was only 96 degrees outside which meant I could use my long sleeve shirt today lol.

Multiple days over 103+ degrees weather has been torture. It'll be back to that in 3 hours lol.
