I usually struggle to cope with heat and humidity - anything approaching 30 degrees makes me feel lousy. When I saw the temperature in London is set to climb to around 36 degrees I started to feel panicky. Luckily I am on leave from work this week so don't have to cope with an non-air conditioned office in central London, but even so the heat to date is sapping the life out of me and making me feel nauseous.

Following all the sensible advice - drinking sufficient fluids, closing windows and curtains at back of my flat where the sun sits, not going out of the house until after sun has gone down etc, but still feeling wretched at the thought of the excessive heat on its way on Thursday.

Anyone else feel like this in hot humid weather? What do you do to take your mind off it?
