Beating the Heat

in #weekend6 years ago

I am pretty sure much of the globe is going though a heat spell right now, and it is no exception where I live here in California, which is usually fairly mild.

We have been hit hard by the heat wave - the hottest day was Friday when it hit 118 degrees Fahrenheit, and shattered the previous record for July 6th which was only 99 degrees. The average high temp is 88 degrees for this time of year, so as you can tell, we are feeling the heat.

As a family, there are a number of things we do to beat the heat and stay cool - swimming in the neighbors pool, the hose, water balloons, slip and slide, mini plastic kids pool, popsicles, etc. Yesterday, we went swimming at Grandma's pool, and today we are hanging outside in the back yard and getting wet. We are blessed to have air conditioning in our house, but who wants to hangout inside all day? We are an outdoor family, so being cool inside is nice for a little bit, but we all go stir crazy and want to get outside at some point, which means we gotta beat this heat!

Here are a few GIFs of us beating the heat:

How do you beat the heat? Are you going through a heat wave as well?

Take care my friends,

Yes, heat is one of the issue which is faced by world and literally speaking sometimes the behaviour of nature is really surprising because at one moment most of the parts are effected by the strong heat and in other side most of the parts are swimming in water.

Literally it's reflecting as your whole family is having great time and also it's effective thing for the cool down session and i personally liked the last GIF because it is really funny to explore.

Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

Friend, how are you? I regret that they are going through so much heat, in venezuela there is no heat wave at the moment but we have rainy days and decalor we have both climates at the same time, this is crazy because we can even get sick
I'm glad they can cool off Kendra looks very happy in the water And Jacod enjoyed it a lot.
I hope the heat wave will pass soon
I love the GIF that you place today I enjoy it a lot

Really have a nice time with your happy family. Your both kids are so sweet♥️♥️♥️ but hot weather isn't sweet able for kids so shouldn't long time in the sun. Thanks for sharing your moments with us.

In the south.....heat wave starts in the spring all the way to fall. Growing up you walk around shirtless and sleep butt naked.🤣🤣🤣🤣😜

At this side of the world @brian.rrr it's always hash and hard especially most part of the northern.. from my side west we experienced same .. you can't imagine when sun shinning it won't go rest until 6pm plus from morning... Really make it so hard but Adaption help us... And now it's raining season after heat wave raining cool out the weather... But during the dry season oh it's heck of heat.. and worse part ... There may be no electricity for Days... So hard everyone has plant trees so we could get shield..

Kids will like that part of pools ....water is something appropriate by children...

That looks like one heck of an "ice bucket challenge" at the end there!! Great gifs 👍

If the temperature in my country was very high we are saying that in a rainy weather but the weather is a bit loc one day it rains and the other one gets a lot of sun and heat so I think we are used to it

It is true it is better to pass it outside and getting wet is the best for the heat

When it's hot, it's hard to go out and go somewhere outdoors. We do not have that close. It's time to stay indoors with the air conditioning so we can refresh ourselves.

My friend, how are you?

You're right, you always look for a way to cool off if I remember correctly. I do not think that in my country you have reached such high temperatures, but even here it's very hot. It's a tropical climate

Nothing like going to the beach to cool off

Kendra and Jacob if they have a great time are so beautiful

The past two weeks we had a record-breaking heat wave. We consistently had temperatures above 45 Celsius (115 Fahrenheit). It was actually miserable to be outside. The humidity was so unpleasant. Thankfully this is the first year that we have a pool set up in our backyard. It was a gift from some family. The kids basically lived in the pool all week long. It was a lifesaver. It looks like you guys found some fun ways to stay cool yourselves.

Hello Brian the baby looks cute playing with the water in the pool. Also my auto upvote website hasn’t been working recently so I have to do them manually.

Wow what a lovely fun day enjoying your two kids. Kids always like fun with water but it's difficult to get chance for appropriate weather, now this has come so let's enjoy. But most important things is kids need to drink lots of water and must be need sun skin cream when out side. Really very hot weather in London too. Thanks to share your kids enjoying moment that really enjoyed.

Hello Friend! How beautiful your children, for that happiness is worth facing the heat... God bless your home and your children.

yes the UK is going through a heatwave this is the second week , we just keep cool by drinking cold drinks , wear little as possible ( of course within decency !! ) and have windows open , looks like your children having a wicked time x

Oh man, keep yourself safe from this hot weather.
Well how i do beat the heat?
to be very honest i don't go out much, and here i'm sitting infront of room cooler.

Ac , umbrella and shower are the best solutions to fight this hot weather mate.

I really like your animated gifs @brian.rrr 😊

hahaha yes we going through the heat wave, i think you and your kids know the solution ;)

Stay wet, stay cool.

Hello Friend! here in Venezuela the weather is very cool, with rain ... Look but I love the happiness and laughter of your little ones.

Your children should love this heat wave, they look very happy.

You are right, Global warming is an issue that is often discussed lately, here also feels quite hot.mungkin soak in the pool to be one way to fight the hot weather.
Thanks @brian.rrr

Your baby so cute , he is playing in water pool . I really like it .

Thanks for sharing @briaan.rrr

I LIVE IN VENEZUELA WHERE WE ENJOY A MIXED CLIMATE, WE HAVE A DAY OF A LOT OF COLD, OTHERS WITH HEAT, SO THAT THESE PHENOMENA WE FACE IT FEW TIMES. I LIKE THE FUN AND FAMILY UNION WITH THE ONE THAT FACES THOSE HEAT WAVES.
