Protection and hot weather

ATGATT is important, what I need is information on lightweight protection that can be worn in the hellish summer heat/humidity of the deep South--specifically the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

I ride to work every day, but have to wear slacks, shirt, and tie to work (school principal). Is there any advice you can give me?

The "massive heat wave" many of you are enduring are normal summer temps down here.

Cool vest

iMHO, you might also consider getting a cool vest to wear under your mesh jacket. I use one when above 93F in the Memphis area and it definitely helps. I have one of the paraffin ones that you put in the freezer before riding and it works well for 1-2 hours.
