Use loose fitting clothing that allows air to circulate next to your skin.Hot and Humid: Wear as little as you can. No matter what you wear sooner or later it will get sticky. If made of natural materials it will rot away all too soon.The big difference between Hot and Dry and Hot and Humid is, in the latter case plant life proliferates like nobody's business, so you can usually find cover during the worst of the day. In the former case you need to make your own shelter against the sun.Oh, and marry dark. Tall, thin, and dark (Somalis or Masai) in Hot and Dry climes. Small, thin, and dark (Yanomamo for example) in Hot and Humid climes. Just cuz you're subject to melanomas don't mean your descendents have to be.And while I'm posting, do any of our Spanish members have any word on the Spanish genet colonies? (The genet is a sub-tropical to tropical animal, rather cat-like. The recent heat wave may be more to their liking than the usual southern Spanish weather.)</blockquote>
