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

We lost power 2 days after a closeby tornado. The heat really sapped my strength and energy. Took a month for me to recover. We're buying a natural gas generator.
Hot weather is seriously debilitating. I just can't take it. I get extremely weak after just a few minutes and have found no solution. When it's hot out. I'm indoors enjoying the AC. I can walk out to the car and back, but that's about it.
I use a portable air-conditioning unit in the living areas and have a fan on all night to keep me cool
It sounds like you have a good strategy for staying comfortable during those hot temperatures. Do you prefer summer or winter? Jodi, Team Member
I don't know if this is the place to ask my question but I was wondering if anyone has more trouble with unbalanced hormones affecting their MG?
Yes definitely heat affects my MG. I moved out of California to get away from the heat there. I get extremely weak all over when it's hot so I try to get things done in the early morning or when it cools down in the evening.
