Heat Wave/Extreme Climate Check-In Thread

Much of the planet right now is dealing with very intense climate related heat waves. Thought it might be helpful to provide a check-in thread and a space for people to discuss the weather/climate, thoughts, concerns, how we're staying cool, what we're doing to try to conserve energy and survive this climate hell. Stay cool, drink water, check in with the vulnerable peoples, friends, family, & be safe.

The situation is unquestionably dire, but I wonder if there isn't a more substantive way to talk about it. [more inside]
