I take a frozen wash cloth with me. I wipe my face and neck when I am getting hot, and that helps me get from point A to point B. I like those mister fans. You can get a handheld one. I find the water helps cool me off faster. I duck from shady spot to shady spot. I plan my errands in the early AM when its cooler, or the very late afternoon when its not so unbearably hot. The AM is better since not so many folks are out. Then, I go home and hide in the AC.
