I don't know if better in the evening or morning to venture out. (Evening has advantage of sun down though, Morning sun soon rises, lately)
-
Is there an option for not leaving the house at all until September?
This heat really isn't for me, but my other problems dictate the times I can go out. At the moment, we're still getting a nice cool breeze in the evening, which is nicer indoors but I can't get out then. The sun rises too early to get anything done while it's still cool in the morning though! -
During the hot weather, mostly I'd only leave the house when I had to, unless there was a good reason I wanted to, of course. ?
Hot weather doesn't suit me at all unfortunately, as it makes my joints swell (RA-related). Also, I suffer from hayfever and really don't like bugs. ?
So if I had to or wanted to, and had a choice when to go out, it would probably be early morning before lunch-time (before the heat and pollen gets worse) or in the evening when it is a bit cooler outside.

If I went out I’d go in the evening definitely.
Although today I have to go out with a friend to walk his elderly dog in the late afternoon. Not looking forward to it frankly, but I’ll wear my Clint Eastwood hat and try to look cool at least...“This is my simple religion. No need for temples. No need for complicated philosophy.

@leeCal
Some people use normal black or colourful brollies to shield partly from the sun, whilst on the go.
Not been sweating for ages so that might be the crux of hot weather making feel worse. (Humid)

That’s a good idea, I hadn’t thought of using my brolly, @fluffycat, that’s lateral thinking ?

I prefer heading out in the late afternoon or early evening usually @fluffycat, but I'm not much of an early riser!

I'm not enjoying the heat my bungalow retains the heat
I have to have curtains and blinds closed due to my sight issues and going out in the bright light is horrendous
But got to go out today in middle of mid day sun to take toby for appt to have his toe nail removed -
@Tori_Scope
The sun doesn't go to bed until about 9 or 10pm and awakens around 6 or 7 am so have to get out then, else makes feel weary. (though if cloudy can be different)
Can feel like a huge welcome little fridge in the early hours until re-enter my house and like a greenhouse inside!!!

Annoying when buildings n pavements etc. retain the heat!!
Hopeful toenail and afternoon venture go without a hitch -

@OverlyAnxious there are sea grass ones on amazon which might suit? Very light but effective, approx £12-15.
Youre right though they do have small small gaps in them. ?“This is my simple religion. No need for temples. No need for complicated philosophy. Your own mind, your own heart is the temple. Your philosophy is simple kindness.”

I just go out whenever and try to appreciate whatever the weather happens to be at that point in time.
If I lived somewhere like Canada or Saudi Arabia with extreme cold or heat then maybe some planning would be required but I find this country quite "average" in terms of weather, never really hot or cold.
I'm lucky though in that I don't have any conditions that are negatively affected by heat. I have sympathy with people whose conditions are made worse when it's hot.

Phew ? survived the dog walk!
i say walk, my elderly friend has a walker on wheels and he put the elderly terrier in the shopping bag on the walker because her paws were getting too hot on the pavements. No room for me too!
My first and probably only walk this week. ?“This is my simple religion. No need for temples. No need for complicated philosophy. Your own mind, your own heart is the temple. Your philosophy is simple kindness.”
