I'm about 150 miles west of SBTlove and we too have been melting, with temps averaging about 102-104 degrees, and heat indexes around 107-109 degrees. Combine that with very humid conditions, and you can't breathe outside. Those with breathing issues have been warned to stay inside. We have had 3 heat related deaths in the past week in Memphis so far, and summer hasn't really even gotten started up good here.

I would say stay inside in the AC... but being as you don't have AC... I'm not sure what I would advise, except to maybe get one installed if you can.... even a window unit would be better than nothing.

Being from the South, I cannot imagine NOT having AC... I think I could even handle not having heat, being as I keep the house about 55-60 degrees throughout the winter, but not having AC??

I agree about the winters though... no matter how cold it gets, at least you can put on a layer of clothes to stay warm... when it's hot like this, there is little you can do to stay cool, outside of living in a cool shower 24/7. Best of luck, and I hope for all of us, it cools down soon!!
