This convention that summer "begins" at the solstice is so weird and disconnected from the commonly understood definition of summer. Flowers bloomed months ago, it's baking hot, days are about to start getting shorter. It's already summer.

I don't think it is a convention anywhere but very very far north. For the majority of people living in the Northern hemisphere by far, as in almost everyone, it has been some for some time now.

Sunglasses, cigarette and a leather jacket.

Go outside and exercise as much as possible, while consuming sufficient water and electrolytes. Your body and mind adapt to the conditions you put them in.

Most people avoid the discomfort of adapting to changing temperatures as the seasons change. But if you just go for a walk outside on your lunch break and ride a bicycle around after work or something, you'll find you are much more tolerant of the ambient temperature.

100% agreed. I used to hate the heat. Now I run in 30°C and, while running in that heat is miserable, I find it way more tolerable when I'm just out and about.

I'm going to wear your mom's booty shorts.

It's finally hot enough that I broke out a sun dress.

Keep the windows and curtains/blinds closed during the day, open the windows at night.

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Loose fitting clothes, big hat, bottle of water, shade.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Go to the Southern hemisphere.

Really depends on where you are.

Sun-heavy areas, long sleeves, long pants, hat.

In low-humidity environments, adding moisture to the air can help cool, which is why evaporative coolers work in places like southwest US/arid regions.

When out boating, my friends give me a hard time because I throw on a synthetic long sleeve shirt while on the boat with a real hat.

Jokes on them when they get melanoma and you don’t.

Those foolish outworlders with out stillsuits.

Resting your feet in a bucket of cool water.

Works amazingly well. Change the water every so often.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

Use the water for plants.

[-] notnotmike@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

We get a meal delivery service each week and they use the giant ice packs. So I've taken to just keeping two or three in my freezer and then sleeping with a pack at my feet each night or carrying it in the car while I do errands. And I get fresh ones delivered each week. A nice way to recycle the packs

Solar powered fans

Close all your windows, and the blinds, watch Christmas movies with ice cream and cookies.

Always helps for me, lets me convince myself it’s winter and cozy

I don’t have air conditioning, other than window units that I try not to use to cool the place, but I do use them for dehumidification a lot when it’s hot out, and that helps an absolute ton.

You mean like to the living room?

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Always wear cool sunglasses.

Oh, you meant temperature wise? Silly me...

Clothes that leave plenty of breathing room, and avoid wearing clothes that are too dark.

As water is abundant where I live, I sometimes leave the tap running into a bucket in the sink and let any excess drain the normal way. That way I always have 10L of fresh mountain water as a heat sink. It's not as effective as ice, but it does work.

Small correction. Dark cloth are no problem. They block more sunlight.
