I hate hot weather

[Colin_T]

We are 24 days into summer and Perth's summer temperatures are going up and making life miserable. It was 37C (99F) today and there are northerly and easterly winds blowing now and they have been blowing all night. I can't open the windows due to the dust blowing around and is it still 30C (86F) now at 3am.

The predicted temperature for Christmas day is 42C (108F) and the same winds. Boxing day is meant to be 44C (111F) with the same winds causing horrible conditions outside. Our temperatures are taken in the shade too, so it's 10-20C hotter in the sun.

I have no air conditioner, no fan and can't wind the windows down on the car. Stupid power windows don't work. And the gearbox is about to die so can't even drive down south to live during summer.

I am sweating like a pig in a sauna and want to be outside but can't due to the dust blowing around.

I hate hot weather.

take lots of cold showers and then air dry
also, at a minimum buy a fan

Nowhere to have showers here, need to go to the beach for that and then I get all itchy due to the water getting under the layers of dead skin.

Having spent Christmas in Perth one year during a heat wave I can empathise somewhat, but I'm freezing here, my feet are lime ice cubes, wanna swap?

I hate the heat, and so glad I live in a mostly temperate climate. I have temperature regulating issues so both cold and heat are terrible. Is there any way to get even just a portable ac unit? That really sucks

It was cold here yesterday, but we're up to a balmy -7 this evening. I'm not a fan of when it gets to -30, but I'll take that over +30 anytime. I don't think I could function in the temperatures you're sitting in.
I'm moving to our east coast where a hot summer day is 25.

The problem with that is the ice would have melted by 6am.
It was 29C at 6am this morning

It's so hot outside the birds are sitting under trees and there is a heat haze coming off everything.

Some suggestions:

Is it possible to buy a portable air conditioner?

Or some people use fan with air cooler, though some said it's bad for health(no idea is it true).
I guess just don't the fan directly at you.

In some countries, there are people who fixed a water spray on their roof to cool down the roof and house.

I live in a car and no power points to plug in an air conditioner
