Wow, I'm surprised how many here have these problems!

It's true, it's the humidity that's worst (today it's extreme here, and the thunderstorms didn't come). It makes me feel as if somebody put a wet towel over my face, as if I'm suffocating.

Well, I guess I could drive to a pool or lake, but don't have the engery. Besides, my car doesn't have a/c either, so driving is no fun when it's hot. But I'm having a cool shower several times a day, it gives me some relief, at least for 15 minutes or so. I especially need some coolness around my head and neck, so I often put my head under the faucet.

oh - just thought of something I used to do at our last base with no A/C. I would keep a spray bottle of water (mister) in the fridge and use it to spray my face and neck. Feels GOOD A cold cloth around the neck is also good for cooling your body.
