As someone who's born and raised in the MENA and I know heat: do not go outside during the hottest part of the day, do not go for a walk, do not decide to do DIY, do not do manual labor, just do not! You can weed your damn garden at 7pm. Go back inside, turn on the ac/fan, hydrate, eat popsicles.

It's *always* a good time to eat popsicles. Always has been for the 68 years of my life, anyway.

Also the hottest part of the day is not noon, it's like 4:00 - 6:00 PM at this time of year

Australian here whose family couldnโt afford to fix our AC for most of my childhood and adolescence. This stuff is absolutely non-negotiable and will only get more so.

I feel lucky living in Ontario, with such a huge temperature range, like 80 to 100 degrees Celsius, so we have infrastructure and knowledge for both extremes And STILL people die in the heat. Can't imagine having massive clinate changes with no prep :(

I wish architects in North America would go to Africa and the Middle East and take notes on how to build buildings that stay cool through airflow. We can't just keep slapping AC units onto everything.

Basements? Oh yeah, they have those in dry/cold climates, don't they? *steams indolently on her Floridian concrete slab* (High water tables. Not interested in having my very own swamp downstairs in which to breed pet gators and mosquitos. ๐)

There's a pretty good forecast for heat stress, the wet bulb globe temp, I think it's still designated an experimental product

Close all your windows and blinds by 10 am at the latest, open your basement door and put a fan at the bottom of the stairs to blow the cool air up, don't think "oh a little bit of heat is nothing, I can just go about my day as usual". Entire cultures are built around millenia of surviving heat.

It can be over 40C here and they'll still make road crews work. It's negligent.

Depending on where you are, 7pm doesn't quite have enough light to do anything. 6:30, however, does. Granted, my experience does come from the backwards country tho, so perhaps thats just a here thing.
