Hmmph some Barbarian you are. Showering twice a day? Walking downstairs to pee? Just go in the corner. No water? Just find a nice house, slaughter the inhabitants with your axe and pillage all the water you need.
According to weather.com, the high temperatures in Montreal over the past week have been as foolows (F)

If I were you, I’d vacate this thread before someone who lives where it’s actually hot gets angry. 
He’d have to walk all the way to Greenwich for that.
(wait for it)
Because you can only pillage a village.
Some years ago (about 20 years ago I’d guess) my doctor did some kind of tests on me and found out that I don’t have enough sweat glands to adequately cool myself off when it’s hot. I sweat, and sweat a lot, when it’s hot, but it’s just not enough. This has led to a lifetime of interesting conditions such as cholinergic urticaria, which means that when I get too hot, I get covered in hives. Not just a few hives in the warmy places, but everywhere hives. To make matters worse, I am allergic to the steroids that are used to get rid of hives, so no Prednisone for me.
Yesterday, I decided to go to the driving range to practice up for the annual coprorate golf outing (which I am participating in despite the fact that I am not a golfer nor do I have any innate golf ability - it’s for fun, so what the hell). I hit 30 balls before the hives came, and I got sick and dizzy. I went home and thirty minutes later (after being in an air conditioned car the whole way) my temp was 102F, so I had to take a cold shower and my Atarax and Pepcid (histamine blocker combinations, off label use totally encouraged by my doctors) and get rid of the hives.
I don’t think i’m goin to the driving range today. Yesterday was 90F and 40% humidity. Today will be much the same. Too fucking hot. I’ll have to watch it at the golf outing. I wouldn’t want to get hives and throw up on my teammates.

Mi-mi-Miiiii…

Thank you. 
Like yesterday it was over 40C (104F) and today it is hovering around 45C (113F). That’s in the shade, btw.
Avoid AC.
The constant change between hot weather and 70F indoor or inside car will make the heat unbearable. As MelC said, embrace it.
Drink at least a gallon of water a day. Start the day with a quart. IF you’re getting thirsty, it’s too late, you need to stay ahead.
Shower as often as possible. You won’t need soap, just hose yourself down.
Stay in the shade.
Wear loose clothes and avoid exposing your skin direcly to the sun.
Me, I love this ssummer. Almost five straight weeks of 85F and no clouds. Liiving in one of the darkest and most wet and miserable climates in the world, I’m recharging and feeling great.
I’m not sure if this is your point, but it’s possible to have 100% relative humidity and have it NOT be raining.
I’ll tell ya one thing about this 100° stuff. . .the bums really start to smell.
Charlie Tan, you lost me at ‘Avoid AC.’
He lost me when he said 85F.
Shit. . .85F is what I my AC is set at.
Exactly. (Although it is only 99 here. For some weird reason, our humidity is only around 45% lately - about half what it usually is.)
I take it you’re in Yemen, not Calgary.
Wear a hat outdoors!
That too.
Catix, I’ve lived in the south of Spain. And I’ve spent time in Fla. in August. I prefer not having AC. Of course, if I have to work wearing some kind of business attire, then I want AC.
So I don’t work during summer.
I don’t have the option of just not working for the summer. I also do not want to spend my life red, itchy and inflamed, so I’d really prefer to have AC. I’m far, far more tolerant of cold temperatures than hot temperatures, and have been this way all my life, even before I lived in a house with central AC.
During the summer months, when it is hot, I find it stifling to breathe and almost impossible to sleep when the temperature of my surroundings is higher than 80F.
Hottest July day on record here in UK and I can’t take much more I tells ya.
I had my shower for July on the 1st but the way things are going I’ll need another before the weeks out
The 30,000 members of the NYPD tend to frown on that behaviour. I’m barbaric, but I’m not stupid.
Besides, even Conan enjoyed a good bath.
I realize that, and understand that some people suffer in ways that aren’t just related to “gee, it’s fucking hot”. My grandma was one of those.
That said, I really don’t think AC is very healthy. To work, it circulates the same air over and over, some have been known to cause legionella, and in general, the cool air is also very dry, puting strain on the nose and throat.
I find that I’m more comfy if I stay en the hot weather and adjust to that. Constantly changing climate from 70F and dry to 90F and humid puts a bigger strain on my system.
Being a teacher gives me 7 weeks of summer vacation this year, so I’m very lucky.
He didn’t enjoy the bath. He enjoyed the company he dragged into the bath with him, willingly or not.
Anyway, a Barbarian wouldn’t care about frowning police officers. It’s only when they draw their firearms you really have to worry.
That’s because North Dakota sucks.
(I’m born and raised (for the most part) in Fargo, so I can talk smack!)
105 freaking degrees in the lovely Heart of the Bay. Never before in my lifetime has it been this damn hot.
My stupid husband thinks (thought) he was gonna put a part of himself inside of me in this heat. I woke up yesterday thinking “goddamn that 190 pound person is gonna want to touch me in this heat, no fuckin’ way”. And he got pissed. Fool.
Oh, and can I mention that this heat makes me wanna barf? Yeah, that’s real romantic, hon. Fool. Thinks. With. His. Dick. Dumbass! I’m so sorry that it’s so hot that I have no choice other than to live in my swimsuit. It’s NOT sexy, I’m NOT cute and you’re NOT getting anywhere near me. Body heat transfers. Fool. Stay the fuck away from me. DON’T TOUCH ME! Yes, I love you. No, it doesn’t have anything to do with you per se. I just don’t want to be touched when it’s freakin’ 105 degrees. Too hard to figure out? Go take a cold shower.
