I have already bought a dozen of $ Trees, combo shoe horn one end, back scratch-er other end.(hard plastic) And am passing them out to bus ladies. I demonstrated how they can bring down items that are on the high shelves with NO dangerous climbing involved. I do STRESS safety and insist they do not try to bring canned foods down from a high shelf.

Put it in the fridge for a bit.

100.4 Fahrenheit here with 38% humidity. Don't have air conditioning here.
We get the air current from the Sahara desert drifting up here in July and August.
A hot August here can reach 115+ degrees Fahrenheit. Thankfully what tends to happen is it gets stormy and chucks down landslide amounts of rain.
What makes my life difficult is the day length. I want to be up and letting the animals out shortly after the sun comes over the ridge so say 7am. The chickens aren't interested in going to bed until deep dusk which is between 9.30pm and 10 pm. I want coffee and brain functioning time in the morning so this means up at 6 am.
By the time I've had a shower and something to eat at night it's getting on for midnight by the time I get to bed. I'm a nine hours sleep sort of man if my temper is to remain stable.
For a few weeks in the summer I'm best avoided.

I'm an "any time, up," sleeper - sometimes up after 3-4 hours sleep, sometimes, sleep more than 12-14 hours. Who cares? The pay off for living solo, has to be some reward for it. It's not for everyone. But you adjust.

90* here. 50% humidity, zero breeze, no AC & no cooling off at night. I hate this time of year. It'll be an uphill climb from here until mid October.

I know I shouldn't complain but I'm gonna be a whining baby for the next 2mos.

We can whine to each other. It is supposed to be cooler in VA than FL!!!

Get an ac, you will be less grumpy.

Have fans at least, I hope. Keep a spray bottle and mist your face and neck while sitting in front of the fan.

Exactly what I was thinking.
