All that said, I will take the four months of hot & steamy weather here, and enjoy the other 8 months of picture perfect weather.
Good advice except for one point. Your body will NOT tell you that you are thirsty until it is too late. When you are out and it is hot you need to hydrate BEFORE your body telling you that you are thirsty.
