Jeez its 38 here in the Rai right now

Moving up to 40 degrees on wed !

I start to get a-bit hot under the collar with anything over 25

I tend to snap very easily

Oh well, i signed up for this !

It feels like I’ve got a short fuse these days !

The air quality isn’t helping much either

No more matching socks [emoji2]

I have found that air conditioning really works foe me...try it!...????  

I Have been getting more snappy this year over trivial things.  Slipper stuck to a sweaty foot, DAMN and Blast !

Spell a word wrong posting on her , Oh botheration !  Hope I don't progress to the language my MIL use to use 

' Oh dashy do-doos '.

It doesn't bother me one iota, but by heck my Mrs is a grumpy cow when it's too hot ????

I sometimes get angry when the blade in my razor is not as sharp as I would like.

you can always go on tvf and complain if it makes you feel better. 

Relax, get a cold one. Only 40 here in Yangon.

The pool and air-conditioning is my answer. That said it's the long Songkran in Pattaya forcing me to hunker down that has me a little snappy. At least I know it will be safe to venture out on the 20th. The heat will be with us for quite some time.

When in Thailand and Cambodia during the hottest time of the year, I see the western tourists and backpackers come out of their air conditioned hotels and they get smacked with the heat when they step outside. 

   I totally avoid A/C and never turn it on in my apartments. I use only a fan. In less than four weeks in Thailand or Cambodia I have acclimated to the hot climate and although still feeling the heat...I no longer suffer with it, and my sweating slows to normal. 

     Actually find A/C to be very uncomfortable at that point. 

   Each to their own. But in my opinion, acclimatizing is the way to go. Allowing your body to adapt to the climate, instead of artificially trying to fight it. You will never win the fight if you use A/C. 

     While western tourists and backpackers step into the street suffering and soaked in sweat and mopping their brows, I’m standing there feeling the heat...but comfortable with it. 

Are you aged 35 or over?

 

Seriously, check your vitamin d and testosterone levels..

I’m 67. Testosterone is great, and I eat a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables and take a One a Day multi-vitamine and mineral pill to be sure. 

     If you’re overweight ...the heat will hit you harder also. Lose weight, wear loose airy summer-weight wicking fabrics...keep yourself hydrated, avoid A/C and use fan only.....or else be prepared to never acclimatize to the heat.

Socks....things I only used to wear with boots if rough hiking, or during the freezing icy snowy winters in Canada.  Otherwise I’m bare feet in my men’s Teva Holliway sandals. 

Strictly only used for the airport or going out ,when in the uk

I am a socks and air conditioning guy and don't care who knows it.????

I did a thread on this weeks ago, 38 is nothing here @ 42c with no breeze and loads of low hanging clouds, farmers taking tons of water to the cows. GROW SOME ! or button it.

Just had a/c installed in my bedroom - now I can sleep at night and don’t feel too hot to give the mrs a cuddle. Not sure if she’s so happy about it though ????

You either acclimatize to it or you don't.

I've lived and worked in some of the hottest and humid places in the world and I guess I'm now acclimatized.

Try using fans instead of AC and stay out of the sun when you are outside. In the car don't put the AC on at 22 or 23, try 25 or 26. that way not so much of a shock to the system when you get out of the car. Will take some time , but you should get there.

Socks with sandals is a faux pas. Kind of like wearing a buttoned down shirt collar with a suit and tie, or wearing both suspenders (braces) and a belt at the same time on your pants.

Possible sign of insecurity.

Use AC ???? your body is "optimal" at 22c, sure you can get where you consider you have acclimatized, but you can't change how your body works, it don't like to be hot! it has to work harder to keep cool, the "energy" lost "acclimatizing" can be better used in staying healthy!
