Get your gear off. Has an instantly cooling effect.If modesty is not an issue, being nude is an excellent adjunct to the advice offered above. Kill though - for airconditioning - and or - a pool.

hey its really works..... i hate summers.... thanxxxx dear lolzzzzzz
im from australia and the past couple of days we have been getting 45 degree celsius heat every day. imagine that without air conditioning in a stuffy classroom and we still have to do sport try outs and everything! :P 45 degrees is the equivalent of 113 degrees in the US. haha
When you read a book, do it in the shade while wearing sunglasses. For some strange reason my eyes feel good and not strained from the sun. also it makes me feel cooler.
I'll bet everyone's heard of putting a bowl of ice in front of a fan, works. Old dancer's trick: keep a towel in freezer. Drape towel from back of neck around your neck, letting the ends hang loose in front. Works.
so hot even my lungs felt sweaty lol so my bf and i, too hot to move past foreplay decided to lay on our bed with a spray bottle filled with ice water and spray the cold mist straight up above u. the feeling of that icey cold mist falling on our sweaty naked bodies was amazing! totally cooled us off and gave us some thing to laugh about as we eventually got goosebumps lol
Are you sure these work.
super weird none of the tips work
Some old-worldy wisdom from my grandmother: Put ice cubes, or anything cold for that matter, against pulse-points (like your wrist pulse, neck pulse, even earlobes). It works great for me, and I definitely notice a difference between an ice cube there or an ice cube elsewhere. I don't know if it's psychosomatic, though, so if anyone can second it, that'd be great.
An old baseball trick - mix ammonia spirits (1.5 oz.) with ice water (1 gallon) in a cooler along with a couple small towels. Rub towels on skin as needed. Works amazingly well for outdoor activities.
[Please note, this is ammonia spirits, or ammonium carbonate (the stuff that goes into smelling salts), NOT ammonia. Do NOT use household cleaning ammonia, they are completely different.]
Finally I found it.I used to used this when I played softball but I think coach added lemon juice to.My son plays baseball and today it is 101 degrees,wanted to bring this concoction w/me for the boys.THANKS and this REALLLLLY works
Another trick for cooler sleeping that is used in Asia is tatami mats; these are mats made of soft woven grasses/straw, often in pillow and bed sizes. I think the texture helps moisture evaporate (increased surface area?) and keeps you from feeling sticky on the bed or pillow.
South of Kirkuk, Iraq in June, '03, it was hot. Hot-hot. HOT-Hot-hot. Part of a medical company, I snagged an IV bag, put in plain water, got a slow drip onto my chest, put a battery-operated fan pointed to the puddle and had the best nap I'd had in weeks! An old Sergeant said it reminded of the old squirrel-cage coolers they had in his native New Mexico.
I stay cool by soaking a towel in water and tossing it in the freezer for a bit. When it's nice and cold, I take it out and drape it on my neck and shoulders or put it on my head.
this summer is going be real hot look how hot it already is
COOL
