It’s 37 °C (98,6 °F) outside and me and my north european genes are not coping.

As a Midwestern American, some tips!

1. Drink plenty of water. If you’re thirsty, you’re already dehydrated. 

2. If you can get you hands on a spray bottle, fill it with cold water and spritz yourself regularly. 

3. Wet washcloths, freeze them, and then put them on the back of your neck and chest to help cool off. 

4. Cold showers. 

5. If you can get a cheap box fan, they will help! 

6. How to make a swamp cooler; fill a bucket with ice, set a fan behind it to blow the ice air around. 

Stay safe over there!

Oh so I have been dehydrated for three days already lmao thanks gods I’m living in from of a fan at least, ty for the tips ❤

Sweating sucks fluids and electrolytes out of you like crazy; it’s easy to get dehydrated when it’s that hot. And being dehydrated makes it harder for you to thermoregulate AND also just makes you feel like crap.
