Default Tips to stay comfortable in the heat

Hi,

Here is a web site with information about how to stay cool:

Keep your neck cool. It works the same way as keeping your feet cool. Try using a cooling pack that works for you, or simply just place a damp towel on your neck.

Wet your face. Use a damp cloth or towel to wet your face or arms. Stand in front of a fan, or blowing air (while you are still damp). This method works quickly and easily. It acts like your natural sweat, but on a quicker and larger scale.

Run your wrists under the cold tap. Your wrists and the inside of your arm are areas where your blood stream flows closest to the surface of your body. Running them under cold water for a minute will cool your blood down, making your whole body cooler.
Holding ice (or a cold plastic bottle of water from the fridge) on the inside of my arm (in the crook of my elbow) does work for me sometimes.
