Struggling to guard my eyes in the warm weather

As the days get warmer here in the UK, I'm finding it really tough to keep my gaze lowered. The struggle feels extra hard when everyone's dressed for the heat. Does any knowledgeable speaker or imam here address this issue specifically for our situation? I could do with some practical advice, in sha Allah.

Akhi, it’s a jihad. I literally look at my feet or count lampposts. The more you practice, the stronger your spiritual muscle gets. May Allah grant us all strength.

Summer is tough man. I heard a sheikh say use that discomfort to remember Jannah’s cool shade promised for lowering the gaze. Keep your phone with Quran recitation handy-distracts the mind.

Bro, I feel you. It’s a test no doubt. I try to shift my gaze to the sky or ground, make quick dhikr. Not easy but every time you fight it, you earn reward inshaAllah.
