Summer Heat Wave

Right now in beautiful British Columbia, we are having a bit of a heat wave. Yesterday was hot, but today is even hotter. Luckily, I have a small portable AC unit that cools my tiny apartment. Outside though, is another story. I get tons of sun on my balcony and the floor of the deck gets boiling hot at times! I try not to go out there unless I have to during the day. I will admit though, I've been spending a few minutes outside here and there to tan my legs. How do you like to keep cool during a heat wave? I like to think an ice cream sandwich or two might also help ... (Photo free for public use from Pixabay.com)

I just sit in front of my fan lol I hate the heat. I prefer winter. I find it easier to get warm than trying to get cool.

Drink lots of water and have some pistachio ice cream.

There's plenty of ways of keeping cool. Fans, if there's at least two AC's in a home. One can open up the doors and allow the air to circulate about. The humidity is tough but there's water, ice, cool showers and opening windows. Keep cool and stay hydrated.

We very rarely have heat waves here, but my living room stays cool even when temperatures are high.
