Move to Texas you will get used to it.
Why is everybody outside if it's so hot?
Stay inside where it's nice and cool.
As a desert dweller..wear a hat with a brim, cover up with light loose clothing, use a wet gauze scarf to wrap around your neck and to wipe off your arms and face. Carry water with you at all times, avoid GOING OUT during the hottest part of the day. AC helps a lot although I'm sure that's not the norm there.
Here in Veracruz it's quite worse during the whole year, and we're not doing nor saying those laughable thinks.
So no one in France could figure out a thermometer before 1947?
When we were younger we used to have water fights on hot days to cool us down. Miss those days.😊
Brigitte will untuck sausage when it gets hot.
