2 ReactionsI've lived in Texas 50 plus years and have seen the effects of climate change over the past decade increase exponentially, particularly with rising heat, drought, and floods. Now I either walk first thing in the morning, before 7:00 because it doesn't get cooler in the evenings here at all or use the gym to exercise. I have moderate COPD and I can no longer handle excessive heat particularly when it's coupled with humidity. I also reverse hibernate; if I'm going to take long walks etc I do so in the few cool months that we have here and stay mostly in the air conditioning during the day's the rest of the year.

1 ReactionAbsolutely! I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack sometimes because it's so hard to breathe.

5 Reactions@atababy123 Louisiana too! I do not leave home unless I absolutely have to. Heat index has been as high as 108 degrees where I live.
The hot weather is horrible with COPD . I have installed air machines in my house . I seldom go out anyway . I do still open my windows and doors in the evenings to cool the house as best it will. I don’t have many days that I have to use the air conditioner. I live in Michigan . I am about 50 miles below the Big Mac bridge, so not too many really hot days . I see a few coming up . If gets real bad , taking a cool shower is good . Spray water bottles help too. Love and Peace to all. Crystalena
