Ppl in the UK:
Open your windows at night while it’s cool and then close them (and your curtains) in the morning. Living in California without A/C taught me this.
Drink a lot of water. (Water is key, don’t drink sports drinks because they dehydrate you and can cause kidney stones if that’s all you’re drinking)
Lay on the tile, I used to do this when my home (that would get over 100 degrees F) didn’t have A/C
If you need to be out, wear a lot of sunscreen, even on places you wouldn’t think about (chest, feet, neck, ears). Even if there is cloud cover. Also find shady areas to be in. Bring water with you. If you do get burned, use aloe vera.
Eat fruits high in water (oranges, satsumas, ect)– freeze berries and put them in your water.
Eat!! You probably won’t feel like it, but it’s still important.
Good trick from middle school: wet paper towels where available and place them on your neck and forehead. Also freeze your water bottles.
And keep an eye on any elderly you know. They are much more likely to die in these kinds of temperatures.
where i live, summer gets to over 45 degrees celsius and i don’t have air conditioning. i think this is pretty good advice, but i’d also recommend buying a cheap plug-in fan. you can get them for under ten dollars in some big stores. maybe buy one for your elderly friends if you’re worried about them too!
for the aloe vera: i live in florida and am super pale, so when i keep aloe vera gel in ice cube trays in the freezer, and it really helps!

Never stop reblogging this
This one photo set has almost 145,000 notes… wow.
I feel as though so much of tumblr has embraced me so positively. I can remember a time, not to long ago when I really felt alone. I felt like I didn’t belong and was always uncomfortable as myself in public. By so much of the tumblr world embracing me with such positive reinforcement, I have been able to grow confident in myself in a way that I never thought possible.
Thank you.
