How do people keep cool?

I am sitting melting i just don't know what to do, it's 33c here at the moment, but plenty of people live in hotter climates, how do they do it, my body and face have sweat running down them 24/7 and have had during all of this hot spell. What am I doing wrong? I have seen people on their way to the train in suits looking as cool as ever it makes no sense to me, can't they feel this heat?

  • I think it's just a matter of getting used to the environment. If it were above 33C and super humid all the time, then you would be quite comfortable right now. Something I do when it's really hot is when I take a shower, I turn it a bit cooler at the end, so I'm not sweating as soon as I come out. It works to keep one comfortable for an hour or two at least. Also, make sure you keep hydrated. You only really have to worry if you stop sweating. The real bonus of this weather, as I see it, is that we can eat ice cream and not feel too self-indulgent. Also, apparently coffee or tea make one feel cooler. It contracts the blood vessels or something.
