I cannot tolerate heat, it's horrible. When it is really hot outside I don't go out unless I absolutely have to. If I do, or if I am subjected to heat in any form it is so overwhelming it's all I can talk about "God it's hot"...yadda, yadda. I prefer the winter to the summer for two reasons. Firstly I like the cold, secondly the dark winter nights mean lots of early evening dark astronomy nights. I can get 4 or 5 hours in and still be in bed at a decent time.

I'm outside in 108 degree weather and I'm close to melting (physically and mentally). I have no heat tolerance. Doesn't help the school I work at, it's an is on the fitz

OMG, I have never been in heat like that, I have no idea what would happen to me if I did, I am sure I would be sick

It's really common in California during the summer unfortunately and I'm drinking a lot of water but still feeling sick/unwell :( Will for sure be laying down when I get home. But I tend to hide it the weather goes about 85 degrees because I can't handle it

Yes. It's abnormally hot here where I live. I'm tired and I have a headache. I felt I was about to pass out the last couple of days.
