I remember once, before we had airconditioning, it was really hot like this and I was trying to wash dishes. Sweat was pouring down my face and stinging my eyes - it was pitiful. I finally got the idea to put cold water in a dish pan - and stand in it. I was washing in hot water feeling totally normal - the cold water on my feet and ankles cooled my blood down so that I felt very comfortable. Please do try it!! If you just have to sit (or stand) for a while it really really works!!
