for the past days, the weather here in our country was extremely humid. as in you, you will get perspired even you are just sitting and watching a television. that due to the higher humidity level, the breeze of the air is so hot and irritating. as a result, even we have to many electric fans in our home, we cannot get a cool temperature. how i wish, i could buy a cheaper air condition unit.

Yes, it is like that in california. 92* yesterday, 89* today! I hate the heat! I would much rather have the cold as you can accomodate the cold a little better by putting on a sweater, 2 pair of socks, etc. But when it is hot, you can only take of so much clothes and even if ina bathing suit...that sun it beating on you or where you are....a warm drink can warm your insides, but a cold drink doesn't do much!!! I am dreading this meaning a early hot summer!

hi there coffeebreak, it seems like we have the same perception. that if someone ask me, what would i like - a cold weather or a hot weather - that, i always told them, i really, really like the cold weather. hence, if the weather is cold, you just need to wear thick clothes plus jacket and gloves with a pair socks then the freezing will be lessen but if the weather is hot, you will still get perspired even you are just sitting in a corner. aside from that, taking-off the clothes is not really the answer, that even you do this, you will still feel the heat and get sweat.

same thing here chelogirl, that it does not matter how many electric fans we use, the air coming from the fans are also hot.

It is a shame that the weather is so hot where you are. I always prefer it to be warmer than colder, but even I have my limits and I know that I don't like it to be too hot because it makes you feel tired and lethargic for the whole of the day. You should try to save up for that air conditioning unit that you mentioned, because you would probably find that you were able to live a much better quality of life if you were able to do this. Work hard and put a little extra cash to one side at the end of every month and this should be able to help you.

Both the really hot and the really cold, they can really be bad types of weather for me. Especially when there were times where the weather tends to bounce back and forth, up and down, without any warning or reason. There are times where I really feel as if the weather just cannot make up its mind what happens. But when it gets hot, I feel the heat. There are times where it is a dry hot, which is the absolute worst. It just feels like I am walking through a never ending stream of heat, struggling to keep my head up, trying to keep my wits right about myself. And then the cold is bad. I just wish temps would stay at a moderate level all year around but I know that is not going to really happen.

hi, yes thats correct,especially on summer time the weather is rally hot and even my makeups will surely melt and my face will become more oily,and even i sweat too.aside from that my hair will become unmanageable too,so that when i am in travel i always tell faster so that i could be there in my office where the atmosphere is cold.

hi there, it really has been hot lately but surprisingly it started raining yesterday afternoon. then earlier today it was really hot again and now it is raining again. i am glad it rains so the temperature cools down. i feel like i was already getting sick from too much heat lately.

I find what works for me is to have a cold bowl of water and put my feet into it, swishing them (feet) around every so often as that then re-distributes the cool feeling of the water. At the same time I'll use a product called Magicool which I don't know if you can buy in your country, but if not, I'm sure you could find and buy it from the internet. It's a cooling facial/body spray with ingredients such as menthol and eucalyptus. I spray that lightly on my face/body every hour or so, then hold a hand-operated small fan over the areas of my body. That seems to keep me very cool. I realise that it probably in my country doesn't get anywhere near as hot/humid as yours, but I have a very low tolerance of heat and humidity. Being an island here, it can get very humid in the summer.

Well I'm getting along much better with hot weather than the spring weather we have here now :P Especially this weekend it had all the variations in a short time :P Windy, then sunny then rainy, then windy again, then sunny again, then rainy again etc etc. Every time you want to go out you have to be a guru and guess what you should wear that would suit the weather :P

I feel you there, airasheila. Even here from where I live, you can cook an egg just placing it under the sun. Due to the hot weather, people in my house easily get irritated and has to stay inside an air-conditioned room just to able to breathe.

I intend to agree with you it is extremely hot nowadays and in fact it is very unlikely to move around and to do tasks because it is really bothering me perhaps what i will do is keep cooling myself more often ,i drink lots of fluid,take a bath more than twice a day,wear light clothing and limit ones' exposure to sun.Perhaps shade oneself with an umbrella every time I planned to go out or probably under a hut or a big tree.I make sure if ever I will be buying stuffs I will do it one time to limit again extreme heat.These are the usual things I do to gratify me.
