How can I cool down my room?

Question

In my room it's very hot at the moment. The window have been open all week and it's still all hot and stuffy. I can't sleep properly even though the window is open right above my bed. Anybody know any ways I can cool down my room and make it feel more airy? Thanks in advance. x

Answer 1

drape a wet towel over your window, the breeze, if there is any, will blow through the towel and create a cooler feeling

Answer 2

When its hot opening your windows don´t help, gotta invest in some air-con

Answer 3

Try sticking a fan in the window.

Answer 4

I would shut the curtains to get the sun out, especially during the day. Get a fan and turn TV or computer off when you can because the give out heat.

Answer 5

You can use a fan to suck out all the inner heat to the outside, or you can use a fan and point it towards you, but put a big bowl of ice in front of it. as it evaporates into the air, the fan will blow it, and you'll get a much cooler breeze.

Also if it's really really hot, keep your hot spots moistened. wrap a cool wet rag or towel around your neck, or under your arm pits. cool those down and you'll feel much cooler.

Answer 10

Closing the curtains to keep the sun off is a good idea, as is buying an electric fan. Try placing a dish of ice cubes in front of the fan to help cool the air it blows around. If possible create a 'through draught' by opening windows/doors (if safe!) on opposite/adjacent sides of your room. You can buy portable air conditioning units for about £100, if you're in the UK - and if you are, it'll probably be freezing again soon!
