NPR - The heat has been on high this summer and doesn't show signs of stopping. Heat waves continue to worsen in parts of the world with breaking temperature records all season. Beating the heat has been on many people’s minds, including ours, which is why we asked for your tips and tricks to stay cool without air conditioning.
🧊 Mother Nature is your friend. Seek out bodies of water, lakes, beaches and rivers.
🧊 Your freezer might have the answers. Freeze wet towels and take them to bed or go to sleep with an ice pack under your pillow on warm nights.
🧊 Take a cube and fan it. Step one: Get a pan, tray or dish and
put cold water or an ice block in it. Step two: Put it in front of a
fan and blow the cool air in your direction.
🧊 Create shade. Add blackout curtains to the side of your home that gets direct sunlight.
🧊 Wear a wet scarf or neck wrap around your neck to stay cool.
🧊 Put a bottle of frozen water on your lap, put your feet in a large pan of cold water or soak in a tub of cold water.
🧊 “Hair is a gigantic evaporative wick.” Leave your hair wet after getting out of the bath.
