Or even cheaper, paper fans!

Wear natural fibres like cotton, they breathe a lot easier and will help with the sweating. I don't know if you guys have dollar stores down there but they have little portable fans that only need a triple a battery and they would help while you are out and about.

HA! Do you want to trade? I'm in Alabama and it has been in the 80's since MARCH!! The summers get in the 100's EVERY SINGLE DAY. Plus its always extremely humid, which makes the heat index usually around 120. Enjoy your Cali weather.

I live in SBV, it was almost triple digits yesterday and it'll be another high 90s today. I munch on ice chips, ice cream, anything thats cold to stay cool. Also I dress in thin layer of clothes when I'm in doors and alone.

I'm hugely jealous, I'm from England and right now it's only 17 degrees. However, I have to go until the end of august so I'm gonna be really uncomfortable during the height of the summer... would love to hear tips to stay cool..

I'm in California too! This weather is already driving me crazy and I'm due in October. I stick my waters in the freezer so it's always ice cold.
