Youch!
106 is a rough temp to be out and about at!
Most cultures who are based off very hot areas have a culture of a siesta where after an earlyish lunch, everyone just sleeps for an hour.
Works when you live close to work, but gets very difficult very fast if you are farther out.
- lotsoweiners 2y agoWe have no such concept in the American southwest even though we have many immigrants from Mexico where they do siesta. Where I live, Phoenix, the hottest part of the day is like 5-7 PM. Most laborers start work early in the summer and are done by early afternoon.
- samarthr1 2y agoCurious, The Spaniards are famous for their siesta, and it used to be (until recently) that most businesses would close from 12:30-1:00 till 3:30-4 over here in small town india (and in some metros like Bengaluru) I would imagine that every place would have some coping mechanism or the other, be it ac, a halt on work, design of living spaces with heat rejection in mind and so on.
