Today I woke up sweating like a pig. The summer is going to get nastier I know. Anyway so as soon as I woke up, I headed to the shower. I was thinking of taking a cool shower before starting my day but I couldn't. I mean it was so hot but still, I couldn't shower with cold water so I took a bath with lukewarm water . Is it just me or does this happen to you too?? And how's the weather in your place?? Hope it's more pleasant than we have here

Hatley - certainly does rain here. We have weeks of rain followed by weeks of dry, but not always sun. The plus side is that everything is green. The downside is that it is very depressing!

Comparing to the weather we are having right now, I think that's a lovely weather you are having there. I have a few friends from England, and they complain about how hot it is right now but to be honest it will get wilder than this. Uhh i can't take the heat no more LOL

Hiya TG, Very hot night last night and very warm Morning already before nine o ´clock as well. Very sticky and hot weather here too. Could not get into the Shower right away but when I could I did wash in lukewarm water as well as it cools me down quicker. I woke up really hot and needed to get up and throw some cool water down the back of my neck as well just to ease off the heat. When I came back from the Bank and the Shops it was the same I felt like a cooked Chicken too so I had to splash myself with cool water again. (grin). Very warm weather and set to stay as well.xxx

The weather here changes from hot for a few days to cold for a few days. Always rainy though. When it is real hot, I take a shower with lukewarm water. The hotter it is, the colder the water. I can never take one just with cold water though.

Hi, thatgirl13. It is hot outside now. It should be about 88-91 degrees outside. That is what I dislike about the summer time. The heat! I would like to take a cool shower, but the thought of taking a cold shower can seem unpleasant. So, I have no choice but to take a really warm shower that is not too hot nor that is too cold. It is just the right temperature for me to wash off in. I have sweated like a pig this summer, that is why I can't wait for the winter to come in!

Wow it must be really burning there. This summer was really nasty here too. I am so glad summer's gone now. We've had this soft shower of rain this morning which has made the weather much pleasant. Anyway I hope the weather there gets in your favour soon

I find the weather in our place too conducive for sleeping. It's almost 3 already that the rain is falling. Yes, it is wet all over but I'm glad the raindrops are just tiny and falling softly. Last night, it was raining almost all night through but the tiny drops of rain did not bother my sleep unlike when the rain is hitting hard. It rather made me sleep better and more soundly because it refreshes the whole surrounding and cool breeze could be felt. This morning the weather is so cool. The raindrops have stopped and I could see the sun shining now. I hope that raindrops come in the afternoon again.

It is not just you, I cannot take a shower in cold water. I need to make it at least warm in order to shower and feel good. I cannot stand the humid weather either. I do sleep with the air conditioner on so I will not wake up sweating.

Here in USA now the weather is hot compared to local peoples' standard. For me it is convenient. Still I take bath in hot water only because inside the house AC is there and temp is maintained around 70F. I know this time of the year it is very hot in my place chennai also. But even then while taking bath I use hot water only as a matter of routine. have a nice day.

It is rainy season now in my country so it is always raining.. During summer, it is so hot that I rarely go out. I can't stand the heat that I am having rashes on my face and I feel dizzy..
• South Korea

I am so sorry. I hope your rashes go away soon and I hope the weather there gets better. We are having a really light rain right now and the weather has turned really pleasant. Our summer was really nasty too but now i guess summer has gone and autumn is here. Anyway thanks for the response and have a wonderful day!

I find that even on the hottest of days, it is not easy just to jump into a cold shower. I have done it by starting it off warm and then reducing it to full cold. It is quite pleasant when I am in there, but when I get out, my blood flows faster and I feel even hotter! Best to have luke warm showers, so that it doesn't increase the heart rate causing the blood to flow more quickly and making you hotter! The weather here in the south of the UK where I am is cloudy, damp and warm, making it very humid and uncomfortable over the last few days. As usual, we are not really have a great summer! That's Briish weather for you! _Derek

I have never been able to shower with cold water. If the water didn't get hot, I just didn't shower. I might take a sponge bath, but I don't like running cold water over my body. I need it to be warm at least. The weather here is fairly nice, but I have mostly been inside with the air conditioner running so I don't know how it is outside. It looks like about 83 F so that is nice. I should go out for a while and do something. Have a great day!!!

Actually, at this time we're having a bad weather, in fact we're having another typhoon. Can't imagine another one is coming while we still feel and suffer with the effect of the previous one. Anyway, i usually do the same practice as yours. Even when it is summer I couldn't take a bath with the plain cold water. I boil water and pour it in to make the water lukewarm before I take a bath. I get used to it.

I'm sorry to hear about the typhoon. I hope nothing gets damaged and everone is safe there. God bless us all and good luck.
