Tips for coping with heat

I dread the rising temperatures too. I have breathing issues which become a real problem in hot weather. I always wear a neck fan and carry a small water mister that I spray on my head and arms. Without these I wouldn't be able to go out on hot days. Indoors I sit by a fan.

My tip 😘 is to live in Scotland! We haven't had any really hot days, even by west of Scotland standards, but some may yet come. It's rarely really roasting though.

There was a warm enough day a week or so ago for me to be persuaded to go for a dip in the loch with a friend who swims in it regularly, even in winter (brrrr!). Sadly, I've discovered in the last year or two that swimming exacerbates the costochondritis I suffer from (caused by scoliosis) so occasional mere dips it will have to be.

I seem to have digressed!

Hope everyone manages to keep cool 😎

I’m in the south east, I envy you!

I have my fan charged and ready , but I don’t think it will be as hot here in Northern Ireland
I’m lucky to have an awning outside my living room it stops the buildup of heat in the room
