On a personal note, I am SUFFERING lately. We live in the southern US and our AC consists of a couple window units and a few fans, meanwhile it's been in the 90s (between around 32-36 degrees Celsius) the past few weeks. It's only starting to cool off a little this week because of rain, but the air is still so thick and humid it feels like you're walking through a sauna, even in the house.
I have heat intolerance at the best of times, but this is another level. I can hardly function like this: I can't sleep, I'm always sweating and lightheaded, I feel like bursting into tears most of the time just from sheer discomfort that never seems to end. I can barely cool myself down because the air in the house is so warm that anything cold heats up too fast to be useful. Hell, the water from the tap comes out warm most of the time!
This is why (or at least one major reason why) my spouse and I had planned on moving up north. I can't take it here. I never wanted to spend another summer suffering like this. It won't truly cool off for another month at least. We were both born and raised here, and the summers (which really is more like half the year here) have always been brutal. I've always struggled with them, more so than other people seem to. And yet when we went to Maine, I could breathe! I could be outside without my skin hurting and without feeling nauseous and dizzy!
Idk where I'm going with this, I just needed to vent and share that I'm struggling right now. It's the middle of the night and I'm hot and frustrated and want to complain.
