Summer days have hot winds blowing across the globe. For people, living inside homes, it is important to keep your windows and curtains closed. Open them in the evening and early morning to allow the flow of cooler air inside. Also, use fans to circulate air and create a cooler breeze relief.
02. Use Fans mindfully:
For maintaining balance in the rooms, keep fans near windows or doorways to draw in cooler outside air. One can also place a bowl of ice in front of a fan for a makeshift air cooler. FYI, make sure your ceiling fans rotate clockwise to make the airflow downwards.

You can also keep your space and body cool using a spray bottle of water in the fridge and get a quick spritz when you feel agitated by heat.

It is the best idea to invest in cooling products like gel ice packs, cooling towels, or neck wraps as heatwaves cause skin rashes and sunburns too. You can experience instant relief by placing these cooling products on pulse points like the neck, wrists, or temples.
06. Making arrangements for Cross-Ventilation:
