Kolkata touching 44-45 degree on daily basis. What’s your situation friends ?

Our summers are becoming dangerous with every passing day, gone are the days of your childhood where 35degreed would be peak of the day. It's not even April yet and the temperature is barely going below 30s even at night, and it's not specific to one place, across the India whoever I talk to shares the same experience, And the sad part is it's only going to get worse, more trees will be cut down to build highways and infrastructure to sustain our population and its needs, we still have to pull out 100s of million people out of acute low income level. Global warming will be our biggest challenge in the following decades. What is grapeviners opinion on this?

Can’t sleep at night and the city is making me cry now.

Summer is here! While we enjoy the warmth and sunshine, it's essential to prioritize our health during these hot months. Here are some tips to help you beat the heat and stay healthy: *Stay Hydrated*: Drink plenty of water (at least 8-10 glasses a day) and other fluids like coconut water, juices, and herbal teas. Avoid caffeine and alcohol as they can dehydrate you further. *Dress Smart*: Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothes made of breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, or silk. Avoid dark colors and opt for light, pastel shades that reflect the sun's rays. *Protect Your Skin*: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 before stepping out. Reapply every 2 hours or after swimming or sweating. Wear a hat, sunglasses, and seek shade when the sun is strongest (11am-3pm). *Beat the Heat*: Stay indoors during peak sun hours, use cooling packs or wet towels to cool down, and take cool showers or baths to bring down your body temperature. *Eat Right*: Include cooling foods like salads, fruits, yogurts, and cucumbers in your diet. Avoid heavy, spicy, or oily foods that can increase body heat. *Rest and Relax*: Get enough sleep (7-8 hours) and take breaks to rest and relax. Avoid strenuous activities during peak sun hours. By following these simple tips, you'll be well-equipped to tackle the summer heat and stay healthy, happy, and energized all season long!

Hey everyone, So, I'm facing a bit of a dilemma here. You know those pesky power cuts? Yeah, they're becoming a regular thing. Now, I've got this inverter doing its thing for the whole house, but honestly, I just need a quick fix for one room. You know, keep the lights on, the Wi-Fi humming, and maybe the cooler fan running for a few hours. Any bright ideas on what I could snag to make that happen? Let me know your thoughts! Thanks a bunch! 🕯️🔌
