I am from Eastern Europe and this is the hottest summer on my memory. For at least 3 consecutive years the heat is breaking all records.

This stuff is unbearable, I can't even play video games on my laptop, because it warms up very fast and the keyboard becomes uncomfortable for me to use.

So, could you please share any useful tips on how do you survive the summer?

I'm in Phoenix. It was 112°f here today. It's hot as balls.

However, I'm immensely more comfortable in this heat than I was when visiting Germany last summer when it was in the high 70's. The difference is the humidity. I was constantly sweating, soaking everything while I was over there. Here? I get a little sweaty at 100°, sometimes. Our power infrastructure is pretty solid, so lots of air conditioner.

Yes, current problem in Eastern Europe is not temperature but humidity, Dew Point to be precise it is 20-22C (~72F).
