All of those things can be avoided by following Australia's public health messaging that all kids have learnt since the early 90s. It started as Slip, slop, slap.
It's now:
While the country does periodically catch on fire over here, I love our summers. But to enjoy them, you basically have to remember that you're made of meat and if left under the grill in the sky, you will cook.
If you're morbidly obese I can understand summer being very uncomfortable. But for most people, taking simple steps can make even a 40°c day comfortable.
Thanks for the advice but still, 40°c is a long way above what I'm confy with. Somewhere around 30°c I'd preferably just lie down and sleep till the summer is over. Also, you guys really love your hats, do you? I know a Australian guy who was constantly wearing his sunhat year around (yes, even when it's dark outside 90% of the time) for multiple years after moving to Sweden.
No particular hat obsession that I'm aware of. Think you just knew a weirdo.
The trick is to wear one layer that's gonna absorb the sweat and another layer for looking good. Bamboo fibre wifebeater with colourful short sleeve shirts got me through 45+ °C 90% h. no bother.
I'm writing this because I started with just the shirt, and two layers seems counter intuitive, but it's actually a lot more comfortable and better looking (fewer sweat stains)
Granted I think my heat intoletance is abnormal and when I get a doctor that doesn't dismiss it out of hand I want to see if there's a reason, but simply sitting in my chair at my pc in 22°C in t shirt and shorts is uncomfortably warm for me. 40 is just awful. Then again I barely notice a difference for anything above ~28, it's all horrible.
