When working in Italy it was far too hot to wear a jacket, for pockets to enable me to carry things, so like many of the natives - I ended up buyng a little handbags for my bits and pieces, money, plus essential documents. I still have that little leather bag, but reserve it for carrying travel documents now.
At the moment, in the UK, it is far too warm to wear a conventional jacket, despite the fact that I need the pockets. Not brave enough to carry a male handbag, so last year I bought myself a gilet - basically a lightweight sleeveless jacket, with lots and lots of pockets.
My home has a lot of internal thermal mass, is well insulated and I hate having flies in the house. When it's hot, I normally only have the side doors open, which is fitted with a magnetic closing fly screen - windows remain firmly closed, apart from trickle vents. If the sun streams in through windows, I close blinds to bounce the sun back out to help keep some heat out. Once darkness falls, I open the upstairs windows wide, to cool the interior down. If it is particularly warm still night, I might supplement an open bedroom window with a large fan drawing cooler night air into the bedroom.
22.2C at 8am this morning outdoors, inside it is a little warmer at 22.7C, but as it becomes hotter outdoors, it will remain relatively cooler indoors. I hate heat and being too hot!
