In the UK, we just had a scorching heatwave this past week. I was well prepared, I had blackout blinds, cooling towels, fans, gel pads, chilled water, ice packs, closed windows, stayed at home, didn't exert myself. All the advice that you can find. I still collapsed due to heat exhaustion. Similar, but with reduced effects, has happened to me in each previous year's heatwave. But this time's was extreme, and made me consider air conditioning for the first time. I've been against it in the past as I am vaguely aware of its environmental effects. I also realize now that I'm in danger[1]. So I can either stick to principles, or[2].
