Best way to keep cool in Hot Weather?

Question

my apartment gets really hot and I have no A/C only a fan and I wanted to know some ways to keep cool.I heard that if you put a frozen water bottle in front of the fan it would decrease the bedroom temp,but do you keep the windows in the room opened or closed?

Answer 1

1. Wet your wrists and other pulse points with cold water. Use a piece of ice wrapped in a face cloth, to continue after the coolness wears off. Never use just ice; make sure it is wrapped in a towel or something similar. Studies show that this will reduce your core body temperature by as much as 3 °F (1.5 ºC). The relief is almost immediate, and will last for up to one hour!

2. Use perspiration to cool the body down. Water vapor produced by sweating actually takes heat away from your body if it is exposed to air and allowed to evaporate

3. Wear a short sleeved shirt and put water on the sleeves. If there is a breeze or fan blowing on you, you can actually get cold. Use a squirt bottle, the sink or hose if outside to keep your sleeves wet. If you are outside and wearing long pants and you put water on your legs, the water will cool your legs.

4. Drink water, even if you are not thirsty! You must replace fluids lost in perspiration to prevent dehydration

5. Go downstairs. Warm air is less dense than cooler air so it ends up layered on top of the downward moving cooler air. If you're in a house, for example, get lower than the roof.

6. Keep the air flowing using a ceiling fan.

7. Get wet! Take a cool shower or bath. Wet your hair. Fill a basin with water and sit with your feet in it. Put a wet bandanna around your neck. Fill a spray bottle or squirt gun with water and spritz yourself. Run cool or cold tap water on the inside of your wrists. The water will cool down the blood flowing through your veins and arteries.
