Here in my country, there are different type of weather seasons. We have rainy seasons, the dry season, and also, a harmattan season. Each of these seasons have diverse characteristics. I have never witnessed how it feels like to be touched by snow. I will really like to know what it feels like. I think thats another thing in my bucket list. lol
One similarity between the rainy season and dry season is that the weather can be hot during both times. Rainy season is mostly cold, but there are times when even after it rains, the weather will be very hot. Like today, it just finished rainy, but the weather is not cold as anticipated.
I remember a time last two years when the weather was too hot. It was as if the sun was shining directly towards my area. During that time, having an air conditioner is a flex. I wonder how i survived those days without an air conditioner or a fan. The most crazy thing is that, the hot weather don't stop mosquitoes from stinging you at night. I do get sleepless night because of both the heat and mosquito.
There were many things I did to survive the heat even without an air conditioner and with the disturbance of mosquito. It only slept well during the day when mosquitoes are not there to disturb my sleep.
The first thing i did was to shower always. Even when showering, I was still sweating. Imagine showering with cold weather and sweating at the same time. After showering, i don't use lotion on my skin because when I do, i will sweat a lot and be uncomfortable.
Another thing I do is to reduce my stress levels and avoid any thing that will make me sweat. Instead of doing intense exercise for a long time, i do moderate exercise. I do this to avoid dehydration. I also stay hydrated every time. Except at night, my water intake was at an all time high.
Another thing I do is to take cold drinks. I don't really like taking cold drinks but when the weather is hot, i have no choice. I take cold substances in moderation.
Also, My fan do help in some cases, though some times, when the weather is too hot, the fan produces hot air, so, its not all that useful during hot times.
