Actually, once it gets above about 100F, you have to start going the other direction again - you cover up to keep the "cool" body temperature in (as well as warding off sun exposure) - light weight, but long pants, long sleeved shirts, hat, and sometimes gloves to protect the hands from sun. There's a reason folks who live in the deserts like the sahara dress that way. I used to live in Atlanta, and THOUGHT I knew what hot was.
No clue.
I run misters, which the birds appreciate (though they're ok without them). I don't raise birds who can't handle the heat, and if they demonstrate that they can't, they go to freezer camp. But yeah, there's a reason for siesta. Up as early as possible, because it may be over 95F at midnight still, so morning is the only time you can get stuff done...

Incredible!
So, I guess this summer I had better not complain about my hot weather in August, or I'm gonna get a watermelon to the face, eh?
Very few if any nights that warm here. There are nights you don't open up the house that's for sure.
Some people be crazy and live in terrible places.
90? At NIGHT?
I don't believe you.

The framers here wear hoodies to keep cool. Sweating makes a good AC.
Myself I have to have long sleeves and no shorts too much sun exposure
Got that right, for once.... Wouldn't live there for dux nor money.
I find it hard to wrap my head around the idea wearing long sleeves is comfortable in summer...
