This makes so much sense! I dread summer every year now because I cannot stand the heat. I’m post-menopause so no hot flashes, but it still feels unbearable to me most of the time. I’ve started wearing a hat when I go out and it really does help. But I still look forward to autumn!

Right?? I was so relieved when I learned this. Not that it helps make it cooler, but it helps to know the reason for the shift. And suddenly, I look forward to the cooler weather as well! Thanks for writing and commiserating. :)

Always great suggestions! While it's cooled down a bit here in the East, I'll be better prepared for the next heat wave.

Thanks for your comment, Irene. Glad you'll be better prepared; hope you have some nice hats!
