How To Keep Cool In Your House In Hot Weather

Health And Fitness : Hot Weather Tips

In hot weather, it helps to know the basic rules of physics.

One of the rules is that hot air rises.

Therefore this gives one big clue - try to spend as much time as possible down stairs in the hot weather as the temperature will be cooler down stairs.

Also try to have all windows open, with curtains closed to prevent direct sunlight from really heating up your home. Have a small crack in the curtains though to help with the air transfer from the windows.

One thing that is not recommended is to create a hand fan for your face or neck. What's quite funny is that this method is useless - because of the energy involved in swishing it back and forth the net result is that your temperature increases slightly through doing this!

Finally, get an empty spray bottle that is clean inside, and fill with water.

Then simply spray a fine water mist from it over you when you are warm and it will cool you down, the evaporation of the water off your body taking away heat from your body and giving some relief from the heat.
