    Anyone else who cannot stand the summer heat?

    It's the first heatwave of the year over here, and I'm already tired of it.

    I cannot help it, but I just cannot stand these high temperatures (and the humidity that comes with them most of the time), it really makes me sick.

    It makes me dizzy, tired, nauseaus, weak, and gives me the feeling to pass out the next second. The worst thing is the lack of oxygen in the air, seems there isn't enough to make my brain work. In fact, it feels as if my brain is boiling. The weather really feels life-threatening to me, and I'm close to a sort of claustrophobic state.

    As I have to avoid the sun, I stay inside as much as possible, but even there it's unbereable. We don't have air conditioning here (and if I had, I couldn't let it run because energy is so expensive here). Right now, it's 27°C (80°F) here in my rooms, and the air is far away from being fresh and clear. They have predicted thunderstorms and rain for today, but so far, there are none.

    LOL; guess I'm a freak here, as everyone I know was greedy for the summer to come, and everyone claims to enjoy the weather (of course they are also complaining about the heat, but still they say they love the summer - weird).

    Well, I don't enjoy it at all. I hate how it makes me feel, I hate the risk of food poisoning, and Luna and Lily are suffering also. For two nights now, I have to lock them in the kitties' room because I have to open the windows wide, otherwise I would die from the heat and humidity in here at night. Poor girls.

    Well, this is just the beginning of the hot season, and I'm already ready for the fall.

    Is anyone else here who hates these temperatures as much as I do? Anyone else who's suffering from the heat? Or are you all enjoying the summer?

    It's been almost 100 here, its killing me. We dont have to much humidity here in Colorado. I dont think I would make it if we did. When I was young I loved the heat, not anymore though.

    Thank you Kay for the beautiful sig!

    I hate the summer. There's nothing to enjoy about it. I get sad when spring arrives because I know summer is right behind it.

    Its 79 degrees today and high humidity. We're also predicting major thunderstorms tonight that should reduce the heat a bit. I actually did contemplate putting on the air conditioners -- I don't care about he cost right now! When I'm hot and uncomfortable, I'd pay a thousand bucks for cool, humidity free environment. It would be worth every penny.

    Me, me. Believe me, we don't get the heat that some of you do but when the temperature rises above 75 degrees I'm miserable. I can't eat that much (which certainly is not a bad thing... ), I can't sleep and it affects my work.

    My office at work is kept at 68-69 degrees and I love it. Everyone else says it's too cold but it's just right for me.

    My two favourite months are May and September.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Got my hands raised too! I have a fan going in my office 12 months out of the year. My co-workers say it's cool enough to "hang meat" in my office. They're from Houston and are always cold.

    I dont mind the heat at all I mean it can get REALY hot sometimes but thats when you go to the pool or start a water gun fight with bomb ballons.

    Even without that water fun I just climb tree's and hang in the shade and look at bird nests oh ya and give the wild birds plenty of drinking water they'll all need it more than me.
