Question

What is the best way to cool down on a hot day?

Answer 1

Drink lots of water or ice water. Stay indoors with a fan on you to circulate the air, if you have mini blinds close them  for the upper part of your window to deflect the sun's rays.

Answer 2

Get under shade, drink lots of water, and pour cool water on your wrist (where you take your pulse).

Answer 3

Stay inside. However, if you can't be indoors, get under a shady tree. It always helps me. Also, drink cold water.

Answer 4

ice  cream I like to eat Vanilla ice cream with cooffee sprinkles and have milk poured over it.

Answer 5

Shade, a fan, comfortable clothing (no socks), and gatorade.

Answer 6

If you are outside, in the intense sunlight, then you should go inside. Drink plenty of water, and turn on the air conditioner. If you can't go inside, then you definitely need to drink plenty of fluids. Try to stay under shade, and wear loose clothing so you can sweat properly.  

Answer 7

Q: What is the best way to cool down on a hot day?

A: We know we must keep hydrated, as temperatures rise.

Many suggestions above will be cooler than standing in the hot sun, like:

1) Being inside of an air conditioned place - be it home, movie theater or a grocery store [BEST, but not always possible].

2) Sipping an icy drink, relaxing in front of a fan or in the shade.

BUT MY BEST way to stay cool, is to get wet [preferably in a pool, but even in the house shower]. Then, I can be outside in the heat doing my chores and still be comfortable.

When my clothes dry, I can get wet again.

Of course, we can not always hang around in wet clothes.
