While you wait for the big cool-down, here’s how to survive: drink cold water like it’s your job. And no, iced coffee doesn’t count—that’s a treat, not hydration. Also, wear light colors. Dark clothes attract heat like a teenager to a TikTok argument.
Get a fan that feels like a jet engine. Point it directly at your face while you watch fall-themed movies. Halloween in July? Absolutely. You deserve a little psychological relief.
And please, for the love of all that is crispy and cool, stop checking the weather app every five minutes. It won’t change the forecast, but it will drain your phone battery and your soul.
