When everything gets too hot to handle...

Oh yes, risk of heatstroke is real!

@pitsipeahie Yes that is true since the city officials warn the persons to take care of themselves outdoors when a heat warning is in place.

I agree, the next months here in Delhi will be extremely hot. It's hard to go out of the home during the daytime in summer. You are fortunate that now you are living in a better place.

That is good to hear. Extreme weather temps are not good.

@sjvg1976 I have two visits to North India in peak summer this time and I dread that . One is in first two weeks of June, attending two family functions in Ranchi and the other is end of July to Delhi and Varanasi for a reunion trip with my college friends.

@pitsipeahie let's hope the temperature doesn't go high this year

@sjvg1976 Indeed!

Summer here was just officially declared by the weather bureau a few days or a week ago.

Exactly! 100%

@pitsipeahie You sound almost like me... I have all those triggers plus have hyperthyroidism that makes me too hot even when it's not hot and nobody else thinks it's hot. I will drip with sweat at 70F/21C when other people think it's slightly chilly. The hyperthyroidism also causes the membranes around my eyes to swell until my eyes are swollen closed and I can't see anything. That's a lot of fun...

I live in a tropical country so weather's always warm even on rainy season it doesn't really get cold and yes, I'm quite like you too even more during summers as heat index here can go as high as 50-55 Celsius. I'm mostly indoors. 10:00 am - 3:00 pm, off limits, I rarely would go out when sun's at its peak. I'm diagnosed with reactive airways, I have asthma and allergic rhinitis. I have maintenance for this and takes antihistamines almost daily. I've been wearing facemask way before the pandemic as advised by my doctor. I was diagnosed year 2000 - 2002 somewhere around those years, so that's how long I've been wearing facemasks every time I'd go out. Sometimes I'd get away not wearing one but I've already gotten used to it. I'm allergic to dust, dander, pollens, strong smells, smoke, pollution even changes in the weather is a trigger. I've learned to live with chronic cough and clogged nose.

@DaddyEvil I'm sorry to hear that. I don't have hyperthyroidism but my mother does and she's like that too. It's so hard when you feel heat extremely than the typical discomfort many people feel when temperatures rise. Life's hard enough and chronic illnesses even makes it harder. Good luck to us I guess, life goes on.

Now that would be great.

@florelway Cold foods, salads and fruits, all those are light and refreshing to eat during summer.

@pitsipeahie Yesterday I was able to finish that big serving of ice cream from S&R and I only wanted to eat salads and fruits.

@pitsipeahie Oh, yes, now that you mentioned it. There's a small one for kids, but not for adults. At least, the kids can take a dip there. I will have to bring it out soon.

Relate! 100%. That is why resorts are booming during summer because people just want to cool down. You know those inflatable pools? I thought of buying that just so I can dip in the backyard but ended up deciding not to.

@pitsipeahie Chill out - pun meant.

yeah...

Been staying indoors, AC turned on and trying to stay hydrated always.

Yap!

@pitsipeahie Yea probably! And you might spoil your food...

But that would cost me more!

You too Carol, take care!

@pitsipeahie Working on it. Enjoy your week.
