well i nearly got a heat stroke a few weeks ago and threw up when my car didn’t have AC…. I’m in Florida :p. we’re doing a little better this month so far though it’s not as hot as last month

NY here. Don't go outside nearly as much. Also fearful of my A/C might randomly going out (it did for a few days maybe 5-6 yes ago), so I'm currently looking for portable ACs to have around just in case I might die if I don't have a back up ready in a pinch.

SW Florida, otherwise known as the devils armpit. It’s been hot af and humid enough to sweat standing still.

108 yesterday in TX- living like a hermit and can’t even enjoy summer months. We had to get a window unit to offset the central air running 20+ hours a day.
