Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Normally I love 27°C weather, but when it's humid it often feels hotter and the air feels muggy, which absolutely sucks. Not sure if this helps or if you'll have access to it, but I grew up in the tropics and my parents used to make chrysanthemum tea and barley water to cool us down and keep us hydrated. Another thing I got from my parents was not to drink water that's too hot or too cold to avoid your body going into shock. Not sure how scientific that is but it's "age-old wisdom" I guess...
But other than that, cool showers twice a day (or three times a day, if it's particularly muggy), and maybe carrying around a portable mini fan if you're moving around a lot.
