How often are you outdoors in the hot temperatures? When you are outside in the heat, how do you cope?

  1. Sleep in ac rooms....I am from india

  2. Sleep in a cool dark room using fans and light sleepwear

  3. No problem. Cold affects me

  4. For the most part I enjoy our summer weather as our temperatures are mostly in the low 70's to 80's, I find humidity more difficult to handle. I also used to find extreme winter cold very difficult to handle, rather like the "Tin Man" in the Wizard of Oz, but after my thymectomy and mitral valve surgery I can manage it by bundling up and pacing myself with rest breaks as needed.
