My air-conditionar is broken, and I cannot afford to have it fix. I could sleep because in California we hit the 3 digits. Today is so bad, that 3 A.M. in the morning the fan is not bringing cool air from outside.
Could I die from this heat in my condo?

you could die from heat, but it takes much more than weather-based heat in order to kill you. it's just very uncomfortable, but make sure you drink plenty of fluids and you'll be OK

It is possible to die of the heat if you keep yourself inside and the temp goes higher. It is doubtful unless you are an elderly person or a small child. Keep yourself hydrated with plenty of ice water or non caffine drinks and non alcoholic drinks. Keep the fans on, open the condo up at the coolest time of the day and then shut all the windows and curtains when it begins to warm. It helps. Small window airconditioners work wonders and are fairly inexpensive I recommend them. Until then do your best to drink lots of ice cold drinks.

hey! of course you wont die!
i understand how you feel. i live in asia, where the air is always hot and humid.
well, when i don't happen to sleep with the aircon on, i usually bathe just before going to sleep, and put on lots of powder before going to bed.
try not to have lots of your pillows around you to keep yourself cool. only have a light blanket if you need it.
you could even have a cool drink before you go to sleep. like a glass of cold water or something.
hope you get some good sleep!

Indeed, sleeping is always more difficult on those hot, humid summer nights. Drink plenty of cold water, but not alcohol. Eat, or suck on ice. Keep a fan in front of you. Even if you have to borrow money, or charge it on a credit card, I think it would be well worth it to get your a/c fixed, or buy a new one.

you could become dehydrated. So drink plenty of water.
Yeah its very hard to sleep in this hot weather. Before the AC I learned to sleep in the heat. its not easy.
buy the best electric fan you can get a spray bottle and put cold water in it. spray your face and neck this will cool you down. eventually you will fall asleep. pleastant dreams.

Take a thin bed sheet, wet it and cover yourself with it , and there you will sleep or may be even dream.........In India there are 80% poor people who have no Air- conditions and not even fans and this is how they sleep in hot afternoons and nights and believe me they wake up fresh and happy.
