Summer often comes suddenly. It would seem that yesterday we were wrapped in jackets, and today the air temperature has exceeded thirty.

The season of heat, sweat and suffering began. Why suffer? Our tips will help to facilitate being in a room where, for some reason, there is no air conditioning, writes Rambler.

Ice

If you have a fan, you can quickly get rid of the heat by placing two plastic bottles of frozen water in front of it. Point the blades at them - and in 5-10 minutes the room will become much cooler.

If a fan is not available, place several open containers of ice around the room. This will help reduce the air temperature by a few degrees - though not as quickly as in the first case.

humidification

This method has a short-term effect, but can bring a sense of relief when summer temperatures are already starting off scale. Pour very cold water into the spray bottle and periodically spray it in the room that you want to cool.

Attention: do not overdo it with moisture, so that then you do not have to fight mold!
A similar effect can be achieved using an automatic humidifier or a nebulizer that produces cold steam.

Curtains

Blackout curtains that block out light will help hide the room from direct sunlight and prevent the room from overheating. And if you also wet them with cold water, then they will give a feeling of freshness and coolness in a stuffy room.
If you're literally melting in the heat, use a little trick to make you feel better. Lightly stroke the skin on your hands with your fingertips, causing goosebumps. Feel the cold wave running through you?

Refrigerator

What's the best thing that can cool the air, no matter how cold-producing technology is? Of course, you cannot keep the refrigerator open for a long time, but it is he who will help you escape in a hot kitchen (especially if you decide to cook something).

Textile

Freeze sheets or bath towels in the refrigerator and hang them around the apartment. You can keep the apartment cool all day long by changing the “warmed” textiles to chilled.

Wet cleaning

In the hot season, do wet cleaning as often as possible. Wipe floors, window sills, shelves, doors and breathe much easier.

Aromatherapy

Try tricking your body with essential oils that make you feel cool and fresh. Place containers of water around the room with 2-3 drops of peppermint, lavender, jasmine or orange blossom oil.

Electronics

You have no idea how hard the working equipment warms the air in the room! In the hot summer months, try to disconnect unnecessary equipment from the network - the temperature in the apartment will become much more comfortable.

Light bulbs

Replace conventional bulbs with energy efficient ones. Incandescent lamps get very hot - they give off 95% of their heat. That is, for an hour of its operation, a 100-watt light bulb is capable of raising the air temperature in a small room by more than 1 degree.

Draft

Disperse the stagnant hot air in the apartment with a draft - open as many windows as possible. And if you install two fans in a room, pointing them at each other, the air temperature in the room will drop by several degrees in a matter of seconds.
