  49 3 Oh! I feel for you! I'm sorry you have no A/C! We lived for years without it. Here are some tips I hope will help. It kind of depends on your living situation, apt. vs. house and what your safety requirements are. If you can open up all of your windows at night and get a fan to blow cool air throughout the place at night, do that. Then, early in the morning, when you feel the first bit of heat, or before, close up your place tight. Draw all of the curtains/blinds shut and close all of the windows and doors. Keep those fans going. What you want to do is keep that cool air in as long as possible. If there are any windows that receive late day direct sun, you might want to put foil in the window (yes, I know this is very ghetto of me) and some kind of curtain to block out the sun. If you can do it, I would suggest investing in a $100-$200 room air conditioner for the room you spend the most time in or for the smallest room in your place. I know this is out of budget for a lot of people though. But, if you can afford a small window A/C, stick it in a window and close the door of that room and crank it up, so at least you have one cool room to go in and to sleep in. Fans can help a lot if you can't do much else. Also, drink lots of water, keep some ice on hand. I would suggest that you get a small towel or hankie and put it in cold water and tie it around your neck...this way it keeps your neck arteries cooler. If you get too hot, take a cold shower. This always seems to help a lot. Or, if you have a bathtub, try soaking in a cool bath. Another good trick is to stick your inside wrists under cool water or keep them cool with ice. It should help cool you down. You could also stick a cold towel on the top of your head. Oh, it usually helps to close off rooms from one another too. Some rooms will naturally stay cooler than others, but if you have all of the doors open, the whole place will share heat. EXCEPT if you are pushing cool air through the place, in which case you will want to have everything as open as possible. If you really are bad off, give up and go to a movie in a cold theater...that way you don't have to deal with the sun outside except for getting there and back. Also remember that heat rises. A basement will be much cooler than an attic. Sometimes even plopping on the floor is cooler than a bed. I really wish I could help. Good luck! Kristin Bell answered in House & Home over 2 years ago | Report 3 comments by freikja, Lee, and freikja… 0 0 Judging by the quality of your post, and the rate of approval, it looks like you have definitely helped. Great answer. freikja commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 The number of voters on this question seems suspect to me. Not that this wasn't a good answer, and not that the least popular answer wasn't a stupid one, but other questions (even the ones featured on Slog like this one was) don't get this many votes. Internet voting is, well, untrustworthy, to say the least. Lee commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 l somehow managed to get 40-something thumbs up on the Volunteer Park thread, and while l may give myself a thumbs up when particularly proud of an answer, l only gave myself one, and sockpuppets really aren't my thing. l wouldn't be surprised if QL has more lurkers now that it's featured on Slog, and l don't really have any other explanation for having that many votes. Unless l've picked up a secret admirer along the way, which l highly doubt. l understand why it might seem suspect to you, l do, and it could very well be, but it's quite possible people are just fuckin HOT right now, all looking for the same kind of relief, and this was the best answer. Having lived in some hot shit with no A/C myself, her suggestions are pretty on point, along with a number of other answers here. Then again, l don't disagree with your last statement either. freikja commented over 2 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  14 1 I realize this will sound like a joke answer, but it's actually how I stayed cool in my very first apartment one incredibly hot Midwestern summer Buy a big box of freezer pops like this: It's usually only a couple bucks for a box of 100 or so. Freeze them. Lay them out on your bed (note: do not open the freezer pops first). Lay back and chill out. When they warm up, pop 'em back in the freezer.  Repeat.  To drop your internal body temp as well, eat one every now and then. They have a minimum of exterior condensation, so your sheets (or couch) won't get all wet, and they refreeze in just 20 minutes or so (I recommend removing them from the box, and laying them out in a flat layer or two in the freezer).  It's like a frosty three dollar waterbed.

  2 0 first and foremost, you must remain properly hydrated as well as maintain a proper mineral (electrolyte) balance. minerals are things like potassium (eat a banana or have an emergen-c) and salt. carry a drink or water with you all the time. when it is hot and when you are sitting in front of fans, you are using more water than you think. do not wait 'till you're thirsty to drink. drink fluids that are going to hydrate and refrigerate the body. consider the ingredients you choose to cool your complicated bio machine.  when they are metabolized do they produce heat? do they actually make you more dehydrated? or do they cool and replenish? you really only need water, a little glucose and some salts. things like sugar, corn syrup, caffeine, any artificial sweetener or color, & alcohol actually dehydrate the body. save the ice for your ice cream. ice cold drinks are hard on digestion. rub ice on your body. dump ice down your friends' shirts and pants. dilute your juice to 50 juice/50 water... or more for a light drink. there are many teas that cool the body and taste wonderful. here are a few: chrysanthemum, hibiscus, green, mint. don't use the stove, it's too hot!. make sun tea. glass jar, tea, water + sunny place for a few hours. swamp cooling. the most effective way to keep your body cool is to immerse it in cool water, or place something cold on your hot spots: feet, hands, head, neck, armpits, groin (yowza!) go outside and turn the hose on yourself, or let your neighbors pay to spray you. take a bandanna and run it under cold water, wring, and wear around your neck as you sit in front of a fan, or just go about your business. repeat often. cools the neck. keep a spray bottle and spray yourself, the cat, the dog, the bird, and the jehovah's witness at the door. rub ice on yourself. put your feet in some very cold water. in the sun cover your head with light colored hat or bandanna. wear light colored clothing. find a light colored umbrella & make it your own personal space when waiting for the bus or are about town. attach a battery operated fan and mister and be super awesome. during the endless days of heat, day and night, think of your house as a large shade structure. it should stay ventilated. open up as much as possible as soon as the air starts to cool. using a fan on the cool side of the house to suck air in and a fan on the other side blowing the hot air out. master the most optimal cool suck and hot blow for your dwelling. during a super hot emergency, you can hose your roof or an exterior wall. it will immediately suck many degrees of heat out, but it is a water waste. watch the steam rise and think of how many kittens you're killing with all the water you threw on your house. drink some more fluids. eat things that don't require a lot of energy to break down. raw foods, shrimp, turkey, fish, are easy. melons melons melons. do chores like hand washing dishes in cold water. hey it's time to empty the freezer of all the old crap. just anticipate that during the hottest part of they day you're going to be mostly useless. spend that time posting shit to the internet and drinking tea. sleep on bedding that is well ventilated. if you have a foam mattress or topper, fold several layers of a natural fiber or breathable blanket/sheet under the sheet you sleep on. take a cool shower just before bed. take another cool shower after the sweaty sex. add a few drops of mint essential oil to a cool bath for more cooling action. fool yourself into being cold. watch movies of scuba diving. watch movies of icebergs, or better yet that nova show that profiles the photographer travelling the world, photographing all the ice in the arctic melting away at rates never seen before.

  2 0 Drink liberally and often. Ice water, that is. Strategically pick the two windows that you think will cover the most air in the place. Once the sun begins to fade, open them both and strategically place fan to blow air out of one of them. Give this an hour, and it should begin to exhaust the hot air and draw in (hopefully) cooler air from inside. Window experimentation encouraged. Quick fix: A box fan placed on a window sill blowing in will clear out one room in a hurry, but wont do much for other rooms. Basements are always a good option. Grab a fan and some ice, place it in front of you, and watch television until the sun goes down. Best ice cube ever is water in a gallon jug (although drain some off before freezing). Cold showers work too. Dip washcloth in freezing water, wrap around neck, repeat as necessary.

  2 0 Take a cool shower and lightly pat yourself dry, walk around with a fan on. Repeat. Eat anything ice cold, cools your body temperature. Have a basement laundry room? Grab a folding chair and camp out in there with some books or craft projects. Go somewhere cold and air-conditioned for a few hours (the library, frozen food aisles) and come back. It takes your body awhile to re-adjust to the temperature and so 'miserable' will be delayed for a little while when you come home.

  4 3 Keep the shades down and the windows open. A fan should be positioned to pull air from a shaded area outdoors. A second, if available, should be positioned to push the air being brought in by the first to other areas. Not a lot else you can do. I've heard of fans that can circulate a light water mist, but that just sounds like it would steadily increase the relative humidity inside your dwelling.

  0 0 I lived in one of those wonderful old craftwman houses for eight years and was NEVER uncomfortably hot. It had double-hung windows. It was also shaded on the west by trees, and on the south by a big porch. The double-hung windows created a strong draft, as the warm air flew out the top of the windows, and the cool air came in the bottom of the windows. It might be 100 degrees outside, but I was always cool inside. Now, I live in a condo, and the only cross-breeze I get is when I open my front door. I put a curtain rod across the top of the door, and hang a sheer curtain that blows in the wind, but is weighted down on the hem, and is hooked on one side, so it stays somewhat in place. It sometimes gets hotter than in the old house, but I sit under a ceiling fan, and it's never so hot I'm tempted to go to a mall to cool down.
