How Are You Dealing With The Heat?

[Angelo Credo]

Yet again it's one of those dreary nights where I find myself bored out of my skull, so I create this thread.

Most of you are probably experiencing what is quite frankly, a disgustingly high heat level, the question is simple DMC.org, I'd like to know how you personally are dealing with the heat in this time of the year, are you drinking lots? Going down the beach for a swim? Or are you just eating up half a planet's worth of eletricity with air conditioning?

I myself have gone with the latter option, I find myself with about three fans set up, going on full blast practically 24/7 and it's still too hot.

What about yourselves?

Work out, walk a lot, jog also. Do lots of work to sweat, cools down the body. Drink a lot of cold drinks, eat ice creams and enjoy air conditioning. Open the windows, fan myself; and also open and close the door rapidly to generate a cool breeze. Plus pouring water over me, or having a cold shower. Or by using sprays which cool the body, such as deodorants and aftershave.

For me it's actually quite cool. Clouded sky for the last 2 days. Sun's not been too bad, but when it was hot. I just did nothing different. Everyone was moaning and it doesn't do anything, so I just acted normal. Apart from not letting people get within 2 inches of me. :lol: Keeps me cooler rather than taking their body heat.

Louisiana weather is bipolar... it's fine one moment then raining w/a vengence, then hot as hell, then a nice breeze comes in, then it's back to being ridiculously hot, then more rain.

It's been so hot during mid day that you feel like the air in your lungs have been absorbed by it. Holy moly.

I like riding my bike and going to the park w/my friends when we ride bikes together if it's not that hot.

[quiksilvershado]

Melting!!! OH MY GOD IM MELTING!!!!!!! i cant handle heat!!! im a cold person!!! i actually stopped doing anything in school coz i nearly fell asleep from the heat!!!!

 

[Dark Drakan]

Cold beers and a fan next to the bed, hasnt bothered me really.

 

[Sparda™]

Jogging, working out, drinking 4 liters of fresh water everyday, various fresh drinks, getting laid (helps), cold showers. And I dunno, I have the air conditioner but here where I live, the apartment, is quite fresh.

 

[Cheerful Friend]

simple i just turn the fan on the minimum power. drink like two or three glasses of water a day

 

[Bad Wolf]

Fans, wearing as little as possible, and trying to not do too much. Then again, it hasn't really been that hot up here lately (the lake effect tends to keep the summers relatively cool).

 

[Dark_Victory]

It gets hot out here early, so by now it's not that bad; but, I still try and keep myself hydrated and turn on the air conditioning when need be.

 

[VI-Rainbow]

Cold beers

Mmmhmmm :>

 

[Pantera Queen]

I actually enjoy the heat a bit more than I did last year. I use to hate the heat with a passion.I'd always complain no matter how many fans were on or what I wore. But now I'm enjoying after the hellish winter we had here. I usually play tennis,walk around,or relax under the sun. Drinking sport drinks and water cools me down as well as cold foods.

BTW I can your sig is exactly how you're feeling:lol:

 

[Damien]

i moan until the heat goes away :lol: as a good british person does :lol: , or i drink lots of juice and pepsi ... :lol: shower and suck ice cubes works a treat !!!

 

[Enigmatic_soldier]

what heat?it really isn't hot out there.you people are just not used to it.

 

[MochaCub]

I live in Florida, so it's hot 99.9% of the time lmao

 

[Angel]

I hate the heat - cannot stand it. Doesn't help that my body temperature is altered thanks to the baby so I get overheated even when it's relatively mild. At least we're back to typical British Summer weather now - cold, wet and windy. Although I've been informed this summer is meant to be epic hot, which I am really not looking forward to as I'll be almost full term and incredibly uncomfortable.

Thank the good Lord for ceiling fans in our bedroom, is all I can say. That and thermal backed curtains which keep the rooms cold all day long.

 

[Gtsilva]

I live far in the south of AFRICA where it is fast approaching winter - deep winter. It is cold right now.

 

[Dark Drakan]

Weather better start improving again soon, i do not want to get soaked at Download Festival for 5 days...

 

[Angel]

Aw, it's not a festival if you don't get soaked at least once though. Just hope and pray any soaking you do get is rainwater and not urine...woke up one night at V Festival to hear the sound of someone peeing against the wall of my tent. Was so glad that I wasn't sleeping next to it and felt only slightly guilty that Paul my tent-mate got peed on...
