Look, you don’t need to build a bunker or stockpile 500 gallons of water. But a little planning goes a long way. Get a decent fan, a reusable water bottle, and maybe a very expressive neighbor to complain with.
Also, consider planting some shade trees now—they’ll be big enough by 2026 to give you a personal cloud. And if you see a weather forecast in late July 2026 that says “heat dome incoming,” do not panic. Just hydrate, find an air-conditioned library, and binge-watch a show about Arctic explorers.
