Oh goodness, I'm sorry, I'm not endorsing it as something everybody should do! I don't think I'd do it again, and it sucks to imagine somebody experiencing it and ending up drowning. Is it tolerable and even enjoyable to do once, if you're prepared for it? Sure! I had a wonderful time with my friends in Viljandi. But once was quite enough for me.

I grew up sleeping in an un-air conditioned bedroom in a place where it stays above 80 degrees four months of the year, even going up to a daytime high of 100-105 sometimes. And you know what?? All those years didn't make me tough or anything. I love central air and I blast that poo poo with reckless abandon. My suffering didn't strengthen me in any way whatsoever. It just sucked.

The temperatures here routinely tickle 100F every year and every year cities open up cooling shelters because those temperatures will invariably kill homeless people and others who don't have anywhere to go. And without fail, idiots will collapse or just loving die because they decided "oh it's just heat" and went for a run or something equally stupid. Everyone constantly underestimates heat because the human body isn't really equipped to tell the difference between hot as poo poo and hot as poo poo and also my life is in danger.

you can run when it’s over 100f and humid (dew point of 70+ according to me), but you better not unless you have already spent weeks acclimating and also drink a poo poo ton of water. hope it’s a shaded path!

Where I live tomorrow will be 97, the day after that 96, the day after that 97, the day after that 100, the day after that 100, the day after that 92, the day after that 91, the day after that 91, and the day after that 92. That's as far as we're forecasted. Fun to know that in the UK this ten day forecast would essentially end British civilization as they call it
