Hope you all are doing okay in whatever temps you've got.
It rarely gets really hot here where I live, and for over a week now it's been extremely hot to the point of my passing out several times from how harshly it's hurting my body (especially my heart, which is scary as ******** since I'm scared of ending up in the hospital over it). I'm doing my damndest to stay hydrated and cool, but in this shitty apartment of mine that traps in heat no matter how many windows and fans ya got going, it's been a total miserable hell to handle.
So here's wishing for the best that I can survive this s**t... cat_xp
If the outside air is hot too, dont open too many windoes. If you have an AC, DONT open the windows
Try instead, putting a packet of ice behind the fan, and letting it blow the cold air it pulls over the ice outwards. It is like a mini AC, and will be far mor effective than opening windows all over the place. A fan only works becuase we have sweat glands, so if it isnt doing it's job, and is just bloing hot or warm air around, then put the packet of ice behind it so it has cold to blow
Yusuke has some good solutions too.
Use ice. Use cold cloths. Use cold cloths especialy around your neck, becuase the neck has blood vessels closest to the skin. If you have a working fridge, get some wash cloths like from your bathroom, wet them a bit, and leave them in the fridge so when the one you are using gets warm, you can swap them out. Having a cloth tucked under your boobs might help too.
if you think it can help, keep your hair damp with cold water, and that should also help
