I moved to Melbourne from a pretty cool climate (Toronto) late last year and this heat is absolutely killing me. Not only am I uncomfortable, I'm going stir-crazy not being able to get out and do my normal activities. What do you all do to stay comfortable and sane?

It depends what your normal activities include. Exercise is better early in the day, before 9am if possible. Meeting up with others is better in shopping centres. Going to the movies is usually a good way to stay cool.

I try to get out and go for a jog early. Spend the rest of the day in the aircon. I'm like you, I wasn't made for this heat.

Wait until summer is through lol
