I guess it’s time for me to be back here again. I’ve been away from Mylot for quite some time to rest and focus on other things. It definitely feels like summer here now, with the sun scorching these past few days. We haven’t seen any rain lately, probably because El Niño was just declared, and being on the Pacific coast, we’re always affected by it. Many people are posting about how hot it is, with some heading to the beaches or setting up inflatable pools to cool off. For those who can’t go out, drinking plenty of water and taking frequent baths seem to be the best ways to cope with this heat.

That heat you’re describing sounds intense though… when it gets like that, even simple things like staying hydrated and cooling off at home make a big difference. Not everyone can just head to the beach, so those little ways of coping really matter.
Hopefully you still get a chance to enjoy the summer a bit, even with the heat—just take it easy and don’t let the sun win

Yeah, what you're saying is true. Summer may be free of those annoying rains, but it can get scorchingly hot. Going to the beach would be ideal since we have plenty of them, but with gas prices on the rise, it's just not practical right now. The best way for me to cool down these days is by heading to the malls and enjoying their air conditioning. I do have AC at home, but I usually only run it at night to ensure a good night's sleep.

You could also turn on your air conditioner at home and stay inside. Pretty and I do love to swim, but there are no public pools in our city that open anymore since the Covid pandemic closed them all. The city used to pay for the pools here and charged people for using them but they say it's too expensive now.
We could go to the local lake or to a river close to us but haven't started doing that yet this year. (It's still too chilly here for the water to warm up enough for people to swim in the lake or the local rivers. The water won't warm up enough until the end of May or the middle of June.)

I wish I could keep the AC on, but electricity costs are a bit high here, so I only use it at night to sleep comfortably. In the mornings, when temperatures rise, I rely on electric fans to cool things down a bit. With gas prices going up, trips to the beach can also be less appealing. We have plenty of beaches nearby, but the good ones are far and can be costly to visit. Right now, we’re in the middle of summer with no rain—just pure sun.

@DaddyEvil Oh boy that temp is just comfortable enough for me. Our temperatures are ranging to 35-40s range here. 12 is a very rare coldness in our place we have a place like that in the northern part of my country.

@rsa101 We keep our house at 23C summer and winter. I also have a fan pointed at me running. 23C is still a little too warm for me but that's the temp Pretty and I settled on to keep us both mostly comfortable. She a little too cool and I'm a little too warm at that temp.
It is not quite 5 am and 12C outside with heavy fog. During the summer, that temp will feel nice to me this early in the morning and I'll just be wearing jean shorts and sandals outside. Our temp later in the day will be 24C, which will still be fine. We're just starting into summer here and won't reach terrible temps until it's 35C outside. Then you'll see us staying in the house, in a pool, the lake or a river to cool off.

I’m sure your summer season is much much hotter than ours, but it does get hot and humid in our summer. I need to exercise outdoors early in the morning and work on my garden before it gets too hot. I cool off in my air conditioned house. We plan on getting a new one to be sure it doesn’t breakdown.

Probably, the el nino is also affecting weather in India. Days are usually hot here.

I think I would rather stay in and take frequent baths than go out in the heat
Drinking plenty water is a must.
Luckily it does not get that hot here
