We’re not setup for hot weather, so we resort to all kinds of things to keep us and our homes cool.

Apart from ordering fans from Amazon, what else have you been doing to keep cool?

    Thanks, my estimate was a little bit off; I’m terminally America-brained.

    It’s months of over 100°F to 110°F (38°C - 43°C) here, but it does spike up there, and the heat index does regularly get that high.

    Pretty much everyone here has AC though.

      No probs!

      I lived in Houston for a couple of years so I knew it was a bit off. I wouldn’t have lasted my first summer if 45°C was normal!

        I think Houston has a bit cooler temperature from Dallas due to the proximity to the ocean, but the humidity more than makes up for it.

        It’s just impossible to cool down in that kind of climate.
