How to cool down during a heatwave: 10 effective tips

The heatwave is hitting hard this summer 2026. Here are the 10 best tips to stay cool without air conditioning.

1. Bladeless neck fan

The must-have for summer. USB rechargeable, silent, up to 24 hours of battery life — it accompanies all your outings without weighing you down.

2. USB mist sprayer

Projects a fine, refreshing mist. The mist instantly drops the perceived temperature by 3 to 5°C.

3. Close shutters during the day

80% of heat enters through windows. Close curtains and shutters before 10 AM — your home will stay up to 7°C cooler.

4. Hydrate every 20 minutes

During a heatwave, drink 2 to 3 liters of water per day, even if you don't feel thirsty. Avoid alcohol and sugary drinks.

5. Cooling gel cushion

No electricity needed — absorbs body heat and maintains a cool surface for 3 hours. Ideal for restless nights.

6. Wet your wrists and neck

The superficial arteries in the wrists carry blood. Cooling them with cool water quickly lowers the temperature of the entire body.

7. Facial mist spray

Ultra-fine ionized mist for face and body. Evaporation creates an immediate cooling effect — keep it in your bag.

8. Wear loose, light-colored clothing

Light colors reflect heat. Linen and cotton breathe better than synthetics. An anti-UV bucket hat protects the head and face.

9. Ventilate at night

As soon as the outdoor temperature drops below the indoor temperature, open windows wide to create a draft. Close everything before 9 AM.

10. Mini portable air conditioner

Combines fan, humidifier, and evaporative cooler. USB-C rechargeable, silent, effective within a 2-meter radius.
