[QUOTE="mythusmage, post: 1056824, member: 571"] Around here (San Diego) it's been a tad warm and a mite humid. We've even had some showers come our way from Arizona. (The monsoonal flow has been diverted westward on occasion.) Some advice for our European members: 1. Keep the refrigerator door closed. Leaving it open will make the motor work harder and overheat. 2. Keep the air flowing. 3. Lots of fluids. Water if you can get nothing else, but if you can find them at a reasonable price, sports drinks such as [b]Gatorade[/b]. 4. [i]Nothing seriously alcoholic[/i] in the heat of the day. Or in the heat of the night for that matter. Anything more alcoholic than 3.5 beer will dehydrate a person with dire consequences. 5. Everything can wait until the sun goes down. 6. Dress lightly. Cottons if you can find them. Loose mesh polyesters etc. if you can't. It's better to have air moving next to your skin and be a bit 'exposed' than to be 'properly' garbed and dead of overheating. (Besides which, morticians and coroners will have a look at your skyclad corpse as they either prepare your body for burial, or determine the cause of death. According to their respective specialties.) 7. Eat light. Heavy foods can make the heat feel worse. In addition, eat in the early morning, and the late evening. You won't have much of an appetite in the heat of the day anyway. Just turned to the Weather Channel. Locally it's 70 degrees Fehrenheit with a dew point of 65 degrees. [i]It's[/i] humid. In Phoenix AZ it's 100. With monsoonal rains. Downtown San Diego tomorrow (my time) it's supposed to get up to 79. As a matter of fact, the Weather Channel is airing a piece on the European heat wave as I write this. According to the lady hosting as I write (one Sandra Diaz), temperatures are supposed to get into the 100s today (tomorrow my time) in Western Europe. So stay in the shade, keep hydrated, and don't run around like a damn loon. [/QUOTE]
