🥵 🥵 🥵

Humidex of over 100F/ 40C at 7:00 pm.

During a heatwave, please check on your neighbours.

If you are experiencing this heat wave and have neighbours who lack air conditioning, please think about taking the time to bring them into your home for a short break, or drive them somewhere they can cool down.

Seniors, chronically ill, disabled, and children are especially vulnerable to heat stroke.

Thanks.

@Snowshadow I would, but I'm the one without air conditioning. 🙁

Well, we have it, but only a portable machine that's only powerful enough for the bedroom.

I am so sorry to hear this.
I was targeting my post to people like your neighbours because you are one of the people who need a break.
I am familiar with those portable ac units and they can't keep up with this heat.
Did you happen to see my post about how to cope in the heat without air conditioning? If not, I would be happy to send a link.

Here is the link to my post.

@Snowshadow So far it's been bearable. We have some options for places to go if necessary. I'll check out that link though.

Thank you for offering to help...very kind of you to do so.😀
I am not sure which one of us you are speaking to but
I am ok, thank you. There is ac in my building, so as long as we don't have a blackout and the ac continues to function we will be alright.

@me might need a break though because those portable ac units are not efficient during this type of heatwave. They can't keep up with these kind of temperatures.
