Okay How Do You Southerns Do It?

And to add to that my son, stay away from swamps. Drega'mire is famous for them and the proximity of them makes the humidity soar. Its like being held over a steaming kettle at times.

I suggest imbibing plenty of fluids, the Pubs are nice I hear.

Wotcher Mister Dimms,

You have, indeed, hit on a rather important and by no means trivial question - staying cool in this blasted heat is certainly a difficult business!

If it's any use to you, there are numerous accounts of explorers taking their helmets and soaking them in water as a solution to the problem. Of course, you will want to exercise some care in doing so, as a saturated piece of headgear will be rather heavy, and may cause you some discomfort to wear! A light wetting, on the other hand, should cause little noticeable change in the weight of your equipment, and ought to suffice to keep you cool.

The exact phenomena that allow this technique to work may be a little sophisticated to explain here, but if you have any success using it, I'd be delighted to hear about your experiences.

Very good Mister Dimms - I wish you the very best of luck, and should hope that you might now look forward to a little relief from the regional weather.

For Queen and Country,

- A. C. Goggins

To add to Rayven's note, try not to get my dagger stuck into your skin. The blade tends to burn a bit too much. A nice alternative is for me to slash you about with my sword made of meteoric ice.

However, on a more serious note, I believe, though am not certain, that the heat and energy given from our favorite little fire circle in the sky tends to like to store itself within darker colored clothing, with black clothing being the worst...Trust me, I know.
It appears that lighter colored cloth is better used to combat the heat as it doesn't store as much of the heat. And Valentine's idea of linen is a good one.
You should also consider acquiring or making some sort of water skin made from any kind of hide (deer, goat, cow). Nothing is better after a battle in the heat than something to drink, preferably water or booze.
It may also help to keep your hair as short as you do.

I tell you these things to help make sure that you are always good to go for when Travance or anywhere else, come to think of it may need you. And maybe others can get something out of the post as well.

Thank you for asking this question, it is rather hot nowadays.

You don't.
You hide and wait for it to go away.
Or just live in the lake.

I highly suggest living in lakes. Never have I gone wrong in the blistering heat so long as one was around.
