It is not at all necessary to be the owner of an air conditioner to provide your home with the much-desired coolness on hot days.

Below you will find some tips to help you survive the heat.

Ventilation

Try to organize good ventilation of your apartment by opening windows and doors. This will create a natural air flow, which will reduce the temperature in the room.

However, one should not forget about the disadvantages of this method: firstly, it can be even hotter outside, and secondly, sometimes dust and insects can get inside.

So consider leaving your windows open in the evening and at night when the outside temperature drops.

Wet things

This method is rather an addition to the previous one - to cool the air flow, hang a damp towel on the open window. The water will evaporate, as a result of which the room will become cooler.

To enhance the effect, use not one, but several of these towels.

Blinds

The temperature in the rooms increases due to the sun's rays penetrating into them, so the logical solution would be to darken the windows with dark or mirrored curtains, blinds or drapes.
