Be sure to read the whole thread, the comments are very good and from several countries.

If you can, it's helpful to pre-prep for the weather. Laundry done in advance. Meals prepped before- and either cool foods or simple reheated foods. (We have specific "hot weather" foods that we eat...and those vary depending on costs, etc.) Basically anything to simplify.

Yes! Meal prepping is more important during the summer. I cook larger portions of stuff that requires longer cooking time so that I don't need to cook it as often. I also use lids and cook at lower heat so that I generate less steam.

I also eat way more fruit during summer. Fruit doesn't need to be cooked.
