Melting in KL

The weather in KL has been absolutely brutal for the past month — and I’m not exaggerating when I say I’ve been showering 4 to 5 times a day just to stay sane and comfortable. And not warm showers, mind you — cold showers. Though honestly, even the cold water feels warm these days!

At night, we don’t even need a blanket in our air-conditioned rooms. It’s that hot. Even Haru, our poor cat, is feeling the heat. This clever girl now sleeps flat on the floor right in front of the stand fan, abandoning her bed entirely because she knows the floor is cooler.

Running errands in the morning feels like stepping into an oven, and I come home drenched in sweat, immediately tossing everything — underwear included! — into the laundry basket before hitting the shower again.

According to the weatherman, some states (KL & Selangor included) are under Level 1 Heatwave alert, and the heat is here to stay… until September. Apparently, July to September will be even hotter. Oh God — help us all. 🥵

A Level 1 warning is issued when temperatures at a location are between 35 deg C and 37 deg C for three consecutive days.

How are you all coping with this heat?
