  • From my experience in the UK, it is quite humid, went to Liverpool and London last year. I’m from central america, in a city that gets humid and getting increasingly hotter by the year.

    Hot and humid means there’s really nothing you can do to cool down other than let yourself sweat and try and catch a breeze. Buy yourself a nice pair of shorts above the knee made out of a breathable fabric (100% cotton, cotton/linen mix, etc., avoid plastic and sports fabrics, they trap heat and moisture) and some shirts made out of the same material. Keep yourself to the shade, use sunblock, and stock up on cold beverages and/or fruit to make beverages with.

    If summers in the UK somehow are dry, covering yourself head to toe with breathable fabric will do the trick. There’s a reason why arabs wear drapey clothing.

    Mind you, sweating above 36-37 in a humid environment does nothing, as the humid air and heat makes it impossible for your body to transfer heat out. Really sucks y’all can’t get ACs up there. I dunno what I would do w/o one. I’m not made for temps above 25 and I can’t sleep on a moist mattress.


  • I’ve had both my entire life, but my heart is in cats. They all are just so different personality wise. My current cat, Holiday, is hood af. She’ll bat you away if you try to give her scritches unless she asked for them specifically, and she just let me scratch her belly despite being rescued by me when she was about 2 weeks old, and being nurses back to health from the brink of death. I love that smarmy shithead and her cute beans.
