I feel so fortunate.

Hi friend, sorry to hear that 22 people lost their life due to the weather, it shows how you are suffering with the hot weather. Here is rainy season now, but the rain is not yet properly started, we too have heavy sun in the noon times. We are taking cool stuff to reduce the heat of the sun

i live in one of the hottest places on earth ,its india and the climate is pretty hot out there,but i enjoy staying indoors and chatting with my friends and its quite taxing to go out there,but lemonades are better to have in this kind of season.i think it will just keep on increasing in the coming days

it was 105 with the humidity two weeks ago and that just killed me. It is okay today though. The heat just keeps me down for weeks at a time.

Yep, unfortunately, we've had many triple digit days this year already. Today, not so bad at 97 but with the heat index it was up to 106. This is waaaaaaaaaaaay too hot for me! My car broke down on Sunday, 110 miles from my home. I sat in that car, in that heat, for two hours while waiting for a ride home. I was sick that night. The next day I had to go back to pick up my car and tow it home (a four hour round trip). That wasn't so bad but I had to be out in that heat for awhile while picking up my car and after we got it home. Last night I started coming down with a cold, a bad one. Today, I'm really feeling the effects of the past three days. I cannot handle heat like I used to. I'm very worried about what the rest of the summer will bring since it has been so terribly hot already. I live in Virginia where we got that really bad storm (they're calling a "derecho") that blasted through the mid-Atlantic region and there are STILL homes without electricity. I saw trees snapped in half, some uprooted, power lines down, cars smashed, houses destroyed, it was bad! We were lucky in that we kept our electricity (for the most part) and only lost Comcast cable tv and internet for one day. Still, going in and out of this heat has really done a number on my poor old body! No celebrations for me today except what I see on TV. I'm glad it hasn't been AS hot there where you are and hope it doesn't get any hotter. We really need to cool down some all across the country. Oh, and don't worry, I'm staying plenty hydrated. I always have something nearby to sip on.

It is about 70 or just below in England with all the cloud it is really muggy and heavy.Raining at moment just for a change (Joke.It always seems to be raining here some areas are flooded it is awful.You see them on the tv mopping up their homes,everything ruined.There was one woman who had not settled her insurance claim from the last time she was flooded.She had only been back in her house six weeks.There she was again knee deep in water all her new furniture floating around her front room all her newly decorated house damp and dirty again.Poor woman.I do hope you are coping with the heat it is no joke.All those fires and people dying from the heat.It is strange how the weather is changing so fast one day we are so hot and the next day the temperature drops and it is pouring hard again.Like I say rain is so boring .

I live in a tropical country, sometimes it rain hard, sometimes it's so humid and I can't bear it any longer. Perspiration really bothers me a lot. I drink a lot of fluid also. Oh, it rain hard the other day though, so that makes it less hotter. Happy Fourth there

I think it is good to take as much water as possible. Here also when the weather is hot, I try to have lemonade and other juices. I like having lemonade or lemon juice. I think it is good to take couple of more baths during the summer time. I think summer are too hot and need to have rain sometimes to get cold climate during summer time. Now it is rainy season.

We have had four days with 100 plus temperatures, including one day that went up to 106 degrees. But like always, the humdiity is what makes it so unbearable. I'm drinking water like nobody's business, and I try to stay indoors as much as possible. I'm prone to heat headaches. The news has asked everyone to check on the elderly to make sure they are okay.

Oh yeah, just over a week ago it was 105 and then Friday we got a storm, more wind and lightening than rain and then I checked the forecast, dry until Sunday and by Saturday the high will be 102...

It has been hotter than he** here & soooooooo dry we have a no burn notice & no fireworks also which i didn't miss that racket last night,lol. We have been in the 3 digits for quite a few days. Glad u aren't.

That is hot .We have been watching the heat reports on our tv in england.We see people going to shopping centres and librarys to get cool.There was one man with his kids in a shopping centre at a cafe table ,he had taken a battery dvd player his kids were watching a film ,drinking cold drinks.The father told the reporter his electric had gone,his aircon stopped.Just to hot to stay at home.That is just alien to us in this country staying warm is out biggest problem.If it gets to 75 we start to panick checking on elderly neibours ect.I could not imagine living in that heat.Do drink plenty of water and cold drinks.People dying from the heat is just beyond belief.Take care hope it cools down a bit.

We reached 105 last weekend. The rest of the time it has been in the 90s. We had some power outages here over that weekend too from the heat. That is definitely a first for this area. The humidity makes it tougher. We actually broke records with those temps. Hydration is definitely key. Hope you had a great 4th!

Dear celtic, Our weather has reached the three digits several times this summer. Yes, it is so important to keep hydrated during hot weather. Thank you so much for reminding us. I hope you had a Happy Fourth as well.

Hi celticeagle, I am a English learner. there often are many english words and foreign culture or other things strange to me. So,here i want to ask what gatorade is?

We have had several triple digit days. I tend to come home from work and just stay inside and stay very still. Not healthy really, I need to move more. I work in air conditioning and I have a/c in my car, but I go in to work before sunrise so I do not need it then. All kinds of temperature records have been broken already, and it is only July

Where I live we are experiencing temps in the high 90's! Tomorrow and friday the temps could hit the three digit mark! It is very hot and humid here! I work in a kitchen,as you probaly know, and it gets over a 100 degrees in there! We aren't air conditioned. The ventilation sucks and even with alot of fans going it is hard to not feel hot when the stove and ovens on! I tried to drink alot of water today at work but it didn't help! I got dizzy! I sat in the air condition of an office which one supervisor has. It helped and feeled up with liquid. I still didn't feel like working! So I went home early! Lukily I have an air conditioner! Hopefully I will be able to withstand the heat at work tomorrow! We will see!

Happy Fourth of July! I have not seen any three digits here thank goodness, thank goodness. That is so dangerously high to bear. I have been drinking as much water and such as I can, I usually drink enough liquids all year around but I know how important it is during the summer months especially. Its' so sad that there have been deaths already this summer due to the heat, I hate to hear those bad reports. Also people can be so careless to leave their pets and such in the car too. I hope this isn't a sign that the rest of the summer will be all hot and terrible.
