Oh no no no no, l can’t cope with the heat anymore. But mind you do you have dry heat? I can cope with dry heat, the British humidity has been painful this summer, l spent most of my time walking around like a running tap 🙂
But dry heat is always welcomed, we just don’t get that here.
The summers here are like constantly walking around in the wet patch! Fine for a moment but highly unpleasant when lingering … 🙂
Whoever punned summer was sexy wasn’t thinking about British humidity! Blimey, when l lived in malaysia that was tropically hot and still easier.
Every day… today I have black pants, and a black, maroon, gold flowy shirt with roses outlined in gold.
I am lucky to be woman cause I can do flowy things… I am also admin so I get to have ac
But my men and women have to wear white shirt and suit – so we allow to take jacket off and if needed go to ac in hearse … don’t want anyone becoming customer helping a customer 😮omg I would die!!
No we instruct them if too hot go cool down in hearse – we definitely do not want anyone passing out or overheating
Not TRYING to make customers ✌️
We make sure they have water – and we allowing staff to take off jackets in heat over 100… I have ice neck wraps for them, and we try to make sure everyone be ok 🙏
Mm, that’s a tad hot, l was working in similar temps this morning at the reserve, dang near killed me. I was working in a dried but boggy pond surrounded by dense cattails, that were probably all eight feet tall. We had rains last night and high heat this morning.
Very high humidity – people are now taken to calling me Taphead!
Nice soothing music and lovely photos Rory

How do you manage that heat?

Yes we have dry heat – but at 107 it does not matter what heat – wet or dry still hot af!!
I can feel my skin sizzle 😮
I manage the heat by staying in the shade and AC
I am used to it – but that also brings on fires – I hoping not!
Being a fire fighter in those temps would be awful!!
I always think of Australia – because they are like us with that – and we help each other ❤️ 🇦🇺

Yes, whilst on other occasions the wearing of black is quite nice, in your job aside from practicalities perhaps not so much.
