I just suffer through any mandatory outdoor events (mostly in silence, but sometimes wailing and profanities are included) and limit myself to activities after sunset, I always keep a bottle of water with me, and I have an hourly reminder to drink when I'm on the computer.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Malaysia:
You wake up early for outdoor stuff, like jogging or longer dog walks. I do that between 5.30 and about 7.30 (=sunrise).
Other activities throughout the day are indoors mostly, shops, malls, gyms etc. are all airconditioned.
Most homes that have a garden come with a roofed porch area with a ceiling fan, so that keeps sitting outdoors manageable except for maybe the most intense mid-day heat.
Houses here are also solid brick & concrete constructions, and retain cold air better than the wooden constructs you see in the US and Canada, so you can actually keep homes at bearable temperatures without racking up electricity bills.

Sgp here: you do social activities at night when it's cool.
During the day you stay hydrated, electrolytes, avoid the sun, if you must be in the sun cover yourself with a hat and long sleeves.
Acclimatization takes about 3 months, then you are more or less used to it.
at night when it's cool.
It’s not that much cooler at night. I’m still sweating the entire time. Like through a three layers and a wool suit sweating
The temperature may not be as cool, but you don't have the sun beating down on you. So the effect of experience is much more enjoyable

I'm about to move further from the equator partially for this reason.
If you can, swim 2-3 times per day, or at least a quick cold shower.
At night it is at least a little more pleasant to be outdoors due to the sun not beating down and you'll feel better for getting out and doing something.
Also seek out indoor spaces with aircon or green spaces with shade that are much more pleasant, if you can.
If you have to do manual work outdoors then god help you.
But you do get a little more used to it over time, but very high temps are always unpleasant.
Mate, don't wear three layers and a wool suit in those conditions!
That would require me to buy more than one suit.
Also, I break a sweat folding laundry in my underwear in a 70F room. Not sweating is not an option for me.
Aclimatization is real. When you spend everyday at 35°, for 3 months, living your life. And then one day it's 28°, you're going to feel chilly. And that's when you know you've adapted
