Also my house doesn't have ac and it got up to 90 degrees inside

Last year someone stole parts off my ac unit and it too much money to replace or fix so i spent most of the day except for a bit this afternoon dying. I have a fan in my room and living room but damn. I even have the blinds closed. Fan, icepack on forehead and water survival pack

there are two types of herbals that are really helpful for making you feel cooler. One is hibiscus tea, It is also called Jamaican tea. It is commonly sold in Hispanic grocery stores and health food stores, a pretty red color and it has a refreshing flavor. Another is to take fresh mint, cardamom seeds and fennel seeds and put in a blender with a glass of water, blend up and strain and drink. Flavor not quite as nice but it cooled me quickly when I got overheated working without an a/c.

Have you tried placing a bucket of I’ve in front of the fans?? It’s almost pleasant.

@nonsensiclesnail towels soaked in water and wrung out with a fan in front of them, can put on a laundry rack or stretch out on something else where a fan can blow over them. The humidity got down to 16% yesterday and that’s perfect for doing this (I have a/c though so didn’t do it)

Try dousing your shirt with cold water, like take handfuls of water and splash them all over your shirt. It will keep you cool for a while. 🌻

Can you go someplace like a library and hang out during the day till it closes?
