any other bright ideas?

Move to a place with a moderate climate.

Medical bills for heat exhaustion/stroke are expensive too. There’s “too hot to be comfortable” and then there’s “so hot it is dangerous”. I remember back in 1980, it was so hot, it didn’t get below 100F at night. Unfortunately, I was living in a duplex without a/c at the time. Called my mom and asked how they survived hot weather in the depression when they didn’t even have electricity! Cold baths, soak sheets in cool water, and place over the screen doors and windows. Probably not a good idea in a high crime area, but neither is dying from heat. Thankfully, I had a noon-9pm job in an air conditioned building, so wasn’t out in the heat at the worse part of the day.We’ve got actual heat temps here in KS around the 100F mark, with heat indices (adjusted for humidity) around 105F. At least it gets down in the 70’s overnight, and so thankful for a/c (in vehicles and buildings!)

Here in Central Florida we hit 71 last night. It was very noticeable when I went out before the sun came up.

“Soak your feet IT water”????

They must be living in a northern state. If they lived in Kansas she wouldn’t mind paying lots for air conditioning. Yesterday it felt like 120!
