Eight low-tech ways to keep cool in a heatwave
 

I love the 'eat a curry option' :sunny:

I can only think of one worthwhile way tp cool off...

COLD BEER
:Kaleun_Cheers:

Or if you're me....

MILK! or....ROOT BEER!

I can vouch for beer personally, although in my case it has bad side effects.

Like divorce, even more raving rants than I give already, slurring anger, etc..

I loves me some milk, cold to near frozen. mmmmmm.

That and your air conditioner, it is 90f plus for the next week here.

I don't plan on drinking. I've said that multiple times. I see too much bad come from it in my community.

AC is a wonderful invention too...it's also pretty good when the vents are above a ceiling fan. :sunny:

Lying on a linoleum floor is another good way to cool off. Particularly if its built on a concrete slab. Acts as a great heat sink.

I can vouch for that.

That works wonders. Hardwood is good too. Of course you could just get a freezer that sits horizontally and lay in it. :arrgh!:

Giggity.

White T-shirt...

Giggity.

The last two posts are getting creepy.:shucks:

5 minutes in a cold shower always lasts a long time for me.:up:

take one of those spray bottles, clean anything that may be inside it, fill it with water and mist it onto your face. having 105 degree weather in the valleys of california i can vouch for this as well.

You know what else works on a hot day?

A popsicle... :up: I've got a ton in my freezer... :03:

Wear a big coat, then you can feel cooler when you take it off.

It wotks.
I am surprised the BBC didn't mention a cup of tea, that works too.

Well you gave the encouragement :)

Doesn't the laying on the floor kinda go along with the drinking of beer? :D
