Does it really have to be so hot?
What's the point of renting a large house with a huge yard, when myself and both of my dogs just huddle into my office with the air-con on?
Nice house, huge yard, and all 3 of us are in a tiny room most of the afternoon. Hrmmphhh...

When the fan begins feeling like it's blowing hot engine exhaust on you, instead of cooling you down, then you know it's too hot. Not to mention when my dogs would prefer to hang out in my office with the door closed versus being out in the yard.

Well, I see your point. I was complaining that it was going to be 82 until I heard the radio and people are dying by the hundreds because it's over 110 in India. I'll take the 82 and air conditioning.
pretty much the coolest ever

heh, talking on a global forum is pretty fun. Some people's version of "winter" doesn't even get below 0C. You're in Toronto though, so you full well what a winter is.

We just had the coldest February on record!! It was ridiculous.
Last week we had a frost warning! I had just planted my garden and I was worried all my flowers were going to die!
Whenever people complain about the heat I want to high five them in the face lol

But yeah, this heat in SE Asia can get to you after a while, especially when it doesn't let up for weeks or months at a time, because there's simply no escaping it. You get a little escape at times like right now, when it's middle of the night, but even right now at 6am it's still +31C.
Guess it could be worse though. I could be in India. Geez, over 1400 dead so far due to excessive heat.

We have newfoundlands, so they love the ac and don't like the heat. I even have a kiddie swimming pool for them
I have to get used to the heat / humidity. Today, the humidity came on strong and I just didn't feel like walking, but I'll adjust.

Last time I went on an extended tent camp fishing trip it was just 108F. 5 Days, no AC. Loved it.
I was born in June in a hot year in the Deep South. I didn't know what AC was until I was five and living farther south. I'm pretty sure a love of drinking water and sweating has saved my life a few times. Plus, I know an old British trick: drink hot beverages in hot weather. Makes you sweat more. Sweat = cooling.

I lived up on this hot in the summer mountain home for many years without AC and never really thought much about it. As I would lay on the couch in a bucket of sweat. Then a while back we got AC. Man on a hot day this is nice. We do cool down the whole house which is expensive, 3 to 4 hundred a month.
Today it already got to almost 90 degrees here.
