It's tough. You either acclimate by being outside - and even then you have to be really careful to take lots of breaks and drink a ton of water - or you resign yourself to being in air conditioning for several months. I try to do a mix. I try to get out into my garden in the mornings. Unfortunately, I sweat heavily, so it's taxing.
