how to keep cool?
2007-06-27 04:36:41 · update #1
At least it is dry heat. Today where I live was 97 with a heat index of 103 and it was as humid as hell. I have 2 AC's running plus a fan and I'm still sweaty.I also live on the 3rd floor so that makes it hotter.

Keeping cool is staying inside in air conditioning, drinking water or sports drinks, avoiding cardio exercising especially during the hottest summer hours of the day. I don't think my bare feet can handle that much heat even if I build up enough tolerance to have "Arizona feet" soles for slightly less heat when walking on blacktop asphalt or unshaded concrete—with the calluses I've developed so far (after losing them a couple of years ago) I'm good for about two minutes on blacktop in 105 degrees afternoon peak heat before I need to cool down the soles just before the blister point.

I've done 120 in New Mexico and Texas before, so it can be done. Find shade, drink A LOT, spritz yourself from time to time. And, believe it or not, wearing a very light sleeved shirt will actually feel better than a sleeveless top, especially if you wet down the top once in a while so the moisture can evaporate.

Last summer I went to Las Vegas,NV and it was 115F the last day we were there and it wasn't humid so it was livable but a few weeks later when I went home to NYC it was 105F and humid so it felt much worse than the 115F in L.V. so consider yourself lucky that it's not humid because it could be much worse. Just limit your time outdoors and try to spend time in an air conditioned or well-ventilated places if possible.

Yeah. If its not humid, its not that bad. Try coming over here in Florida which has really high levels of humidity every single day with no cold front ever in the summer and temps in the 90's every single day.

AZ heat tends to be dry... So wear a hat and drink lots of water, stand in the shade.
Or strip to your skivvies, lay on the floor near an open window, and place water-filler terra cotta jars around yourself.

Yes you can because it is a dry heat. Not nearly as bad as living in Illinois for example where it is 95 and humid as hell.
