I'm not designed for this weather - I was raised in Caernarfon N Wales, it is always raining/snowing there

Go inside... Turn on AC... Drink something cold...

Most (all?) houses in the UK have heating, but not so many have air conditioning.

Even worse, I read that houses are designed to retain heat. I assume for the colder days.

I was raised further east in Flintshire. I do remember really cold winters, but also sea swimming even in October.

- Drink a lot, preferably stuff with electrolytes (sports drinks and such)
- Stay out of the sun as much as possible
- Avoid physical exercise in the heat
- Pour (cool) water over your head to cool it
- If your garden needs watering, do so at night; don't waste the water by evaporation

He's more than welcome to visit, but I don't live in Tel Aviv!

Durn, that's like Phoenix, Arizona hot.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

But then, 2 falls ago I put in a swimming pool in my back yard. Last summer was the coolest summer we'd had in Atlanta, Georgia in 30+ years. We normally get well over 30 days in the 90s (fahrenheit), last summer we had 4. I put in a pool heater this spring and we are back to our normal number of very hot days.

So the crazy weather is all your fault!

I am wishing a return to normal weather for you very soon. The heat is really nasty and dangerous for some people and critters.![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Nice Spring weather! It's been around 48° C here for a few weeks. Everything I've planted since March is already dead, since we've had no measurable rain this year.

A cold shower/soak does wonders. Saves on AC also.

Once I'd posted the "dunno what PE is" bit, I realized what it was ...

I have no idea how you could come up with that without realizing what it was!

"Plain" gave me "Steppe" right away, and "Stage" is a "Step", so that confirmed it. But I couldn't get "So to speak" to give me "PE".
I blame dehydration ...
