Open the windows (in time)
It is tempting to throw windows open throughout the day in the hope of the breeze, but when the atmosphere is really hot outside, you only allow to enter the air more hot.
Open the windows nice and wide overnight (if it is safe to do this) or early in the morning to allow the cooler air, then close it while climbing the external temperature.
Try to create a breeze by opening windows on the corresponding aspects of your home or from top to bottom.
Cut the curtains
A lot of heat comes through windows as heat radiation, which heats the surfaces and air in the room, raising the surrounding temperature.
Closing curtains or curtains as a barrier, helps prevent heat from going to your room outside the window.
Covering windows from the outside
If you can, hang another paper or barrier on the outer part of the window helps prevent thermal radiation from entering your room, which may maintain it greatly on very hot days.
There is a reason for homes in hot and desired clips abroad from their windows.
BRISH BLIND & Wankter says that the research it cost in a block of apartments in London and found that the temperatures reached 47.5 ° C in the rooms without shading, while the rooms containing external curtains equipped with a maximum of 28 ° C.
Get a fan …
The use of an electric fan can help move the air around your home in your cooling, as long as the air temperature Less than 35 ° C. The room will not cool down.
Of course, fans come in different shapes and sizes, including versions of the statue, tower and office, and varying price signs.
This week, the Guardian published an article that I included Our choice is one of the best fans. The best is generally named as a Lume plane, which is a cost -cost base fan (the time of this report) 119 pounds of AO retail AO. The named person was manufactured as the best budget lover and the best office fan by Devola and was available this week for 49.99 pounds.
Buying an effective energy model will help operate the costs and reduce the amount of heat created by the fan engine.
You can also put it in front of the window when it is cooler outside to encourage air to enter your home.
… or evaporated cooler
A step from a standard fan is an evaporation cooler, which is basically a fan that blows through a wet substance. The water evaporates in the air, absorbs some thermal energy and cools the breeze resulting from the fan a few degrees.
It works better in dry conditions, so it can struggle in the relatively wet British summer.
The Guardian article this week On the fans, they also looked at the evaporation coolers, and the writer who admired the best writer was the cold 5 Lite Nordic Air (69.99 pounds).
For a free version, you can – in theory – try to pour some cold water across a closed floor, which will then evaporate to cool the tiles, although this may cause damage to the floor material and increase moisture in your home.
Use moisture remover
The moisture remover is usually associated with wet winter, but one of the factors that makes the heat less likely is high humidity, as it reduces the body’s ability to cool itself effectively by sweating. Dry heat is much easier to deal with it more than this wet.
If it is really wet in your home, the moisture remover can help you keep calm, although many of them generate their own heat as part of the process, so it is a budget act.
DIY air conditioning
It will not be almost effective like actual air conditioning, but to make air air cooler, all you have to do is to detonate the air on a cold thing. There are many videos on YouTube that show different ways to create an alternative to air conditioning, but the most basic is a bowl of ice water in front of the fan. Just be very careful with water and electricity.
There is another common technique, which is the use of a cold basin or an old polyesterin with a fan. Cut a hole in the top of the box enough enough for the fan to detonate it, then cut the exhaust opening until it leaves the air. Fill the box with ice packs or bottles of frozen water and leave the fan blowing directly into the box over the bottles to pump the cold air in the room.
Buy a portable air conditioner
Obtaining the appropriate “divided” air conditioning system can be very expensive, but portable air conditioning units are not expensive. The size of a small file cabinet is usually the compressor and the fan in one unit. They have the downside to generate heat in the place you are trying to cool, which must be pumped through a tube and outside the window.
For short -term use in the thermal wave, it can effectively cool one room, such as the bedroom or hall. The cost of cheap units of about 130 pounds, with more good units in the range of 300 pounds. They consume a lot of electricity more than the fan and are classified in British thermal units (BTU) for cooling energy, so be sure to buy one strong enough for the size of your room.
Turn off things and cook them outside
When the atmosphere is very hot, turn off anything that generates heat.
Electrical appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, TVs, and the sterio, games and computers can generate a lot of heat over time when using, while other devices such as the router or lights also emit a little heat.
Cooking generates a lot of heat, so use the stove and the oven slightly and think only to cook late at night when you can open the windows.
Instead, take Tahik outside using a barbecue stove, camping, or the like.
Eat cold food
It can help you slow down your cold and moisture to deal with heat.
Consider eating cold food, such as sandwiches, salads, or water -rich foods such as cucumber and ice cells.
Fill the water bottles during the evening and store them in the refrigerator during the night so that you have cold water to drink during the day.
Take the wonderful shower
Cold showering is not an effective way to cool your body. You want to cool the skin as much as possible without exposing it to very cold water, which may cause your blood vessels to shrink, carrying warm blood from your essential heat radiation away through your skin.
You can also use a cold pressure to cool parts of your body – something that can be particularly effective on your neck, armpits, or wrist.
If everything else fails, take a trip to a place with air conditioning such as a shopping center, supermarket, cinema or Another cold space To recover.
Some say that checking a cheap hotel with air conditioning can also be a lifeline on the most important nights.
