I live in a pretty hot climate, but it’s only really unbearable at times due to shoddy building and bad urban planning. Even then, summer can be difficult.
I can’t imagine what it’s like on the equator, especially in dense urban centres. What’s Mumbai, Bangkok, or Singapore like at the height of the wet season?! How do millions of people function day to day?
Summer storms are the best! That feeling of anticipation as the pressure builds up, then the way the temperature drops, before the rain hits and it just washes the heat away (sometimes!)
