Baby It's HOT Outside!

'Tis the season for sweating profusely once you step outside.  Welcome to South Texas! Sometimes it feels as if we are living directly on the sun.  We are typically lucky enough to also get some humidity added to the mix.  Thankfully, this summer humidity levels haven't been too terrible.. yet.

Today is high of 100 degrees
Friday: High of 102
Saturday: High of 99 ( whew! a break..yeah right)
Sunday: High of 101
Monday: High of 104

You get the idea...it's hot.

So what can you do to survive a South Texas summer?

• Stay indoors with an A/C on.  This is the most preferred.  This however can turn out to be the most expensive.  Trust me.. its not for the faint of heart when you get your energy bill.  My advice: Go to someone else's house and enjoy their a/c. Oh and please get your A/C serviced prior to summer.. nothing is worse than an A/C going out in the middle of summer. 
• Go swimming! Whether its your pool, neighborhood pool or one of the close by lakes..do it. My advice: Wear your sunscreen!! 
• Stay hydrated. Of course the best way to do this is water... But to each their own.  My advice: stick with the water.. beer + heat = feeling awful!
• Go enjoy an ice cream, or if your watching your waistline, a frozen yogurt.  This will cool you down for sure.. I can attest to this.  My advice: stick with the froyo and some fruit.. it does the trick.

So basically.. stay out of the direct sun, wear your sunscreen, drink your water.  Don't forget to keep your pets hydrated and out of the sun also.

All in all it is something that you deal with if you want to live in our great city.  Trust me.. it's something you get used to and I'd rather deal with 100 degree weather in San Antonio than live anywhere else!
