In college some friends and I decided Friday night that in the morning we were gonna drive to the beach and spend the day. We had been heavily drinking all night, but come the morning we were all in the car and drove 5 hrs to the beach at 7 am and came back in the late evening. One of the best bonding moments of my college years and I got the worst sunburn I’ve ever had.

Wow that’s a crazy (interesting) story, glad everything turned out alright.

Southern US here, my household acclimatized. Last year we didn’t run the AC until the last week of July and we cut it back off at the end of August.

First thing in the morning we open all the windows, put fans in the Western windows, and open the attic door. Cooler air is pulled in from the South West, convection pulls hot air to meet it, and then the hot air rises out of the living space. It’s still hot, we sweat all day, but you become accustomed to it and shift your life around it. We get up early, do any chores before lunch, rest from noon til late afternoon, do other activities in the evening. Sweat helps cool the body, if you sweat you’ll be cooler, but you have to stay hydrated.
