We’re half way through the summer and a feeling of relief
can be sensed among the population. Some cities across the country witnessed an
extremely hot summer period while others felt right at home in the blistering
heat. Before we start our monsoon celebrations we still have about 60 days of
the season left.
We're giving you a few tips and tricks that you can try to
stay cool and beat the heat this summer, some may sound strange but trust us,
they work.
1. Utilize the
freezer
About 10-15 minutes before you sleep, put your sheets in the
freezer to cool off. Do make sure you place them in a plastic bag before you
place them inside the freezer as you don’t want the smell of yesterday’s dinner
to be absorbed by the fabric.
2. The wet cloth
method
This trick is right out of a science book and it works
wonders. Place a damp cloth over a stand fan or in front of an open window,
when the fan is switched on or a breeze comes through, it’ll cool down the room
instantly.
3. The cold water
bottle
In the winter, many of us resort to hot water bottles to
keep us warm, but you can also use them in the summer. Simply fill ice-cold
water into it and keep it with you when the heat becomes unbearable.
4. Get down
We all know that hot air rises. So the perfect place to set
up camp would be closer to the ground. Substitute your fancy bed for a
comfortable mattress and you'll feel cooler in no time.
5. Get creative
Grains like rice and buckwheat aren't just for consuming,
you can make a pillow using these as they don't absorb heat like cotton or
goose feathers.
