Note to readers: Welcome to "Heat Week." This the third story in a five-part series The News-Press and Naples Daily News are doing this week, taking a closer look at all things heat. Florida has been experiencing extreme and historic heat this summer, on land and in the water, and weather forecasters are predicting more intense temperatures as the summer continues.

Today's story focuses on heat humor.

It has gotten to the point with the heat and record temperatures around Florida where one of the best ways to handle it, next to sticking your head inside a freezer, is to make fun of it.

When it comes to making light of something that is such a dominating force in our lives, luckily we have the comedians on social media making funny memes that at least for a couple of seconds, can help take our minds off the blistering and historic heat waves that are occurring.

In the past two weeks, as the thermometer has risen to all-time highs in many places, we have seen numerous and very creative heat memes on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. We have compiled what we think are 16 of the best memes for your enjoyment. Stay cool!
