Keep the back of your neck in shade (wear a cap backwards, or raise your collar) or put a wet handkerchief on the back of the neck. The sensor for our body temperature control system is in this area, and so with this method you can make the rest of your body think that you are "cool".
Place or tie an icepack behind your head.
Wear your hair up. This will help to keep your neck cool and relatively free of sweat.
Wet your hair. Just like you lose the most heat from your head during winter, you can apply the same principle in the heat. Wet all your hair, or just all along the hairline in a pinch. The evaporation of the water will cool your head (though it may make your hair a bit frizzy if it's curly!).
Wear a bandanna with water soaked on it and put it on your head.Or you can relive the 80's and wear a wet terrycloth headband on your forehead.
Also try using a Water Misting Fan. These portable devices are battery operated so you can take them with you wherever you go. As you mist and fan yourself, the water is evaporated on you skin giving you an instant cooling sensation!

Hi everyone,
Much of the country is in a heat wave, how are you surviving it?
I am very thankful that my AC works! I am also drinking the lot of ice coffee and eating ice cream.It should be cooler in the Northeast today. So I can work off some of the ice cream!
Hope everyone stays cool and have a great day!

It isn't too bad here in Buffalo, NY it's around 87°F.
Every room in our house has a fan >.<
I survive it by just basic stuff like drinking a lot of water and taking semi-cold showers.

You're lucky to have AC, Fans could sometimes suck lol

I stay inside all day as long as my AC works and go out in the afternoon.

All I can say is, "thank God for air conditioning. Although its better now. It actually seems kind of cool this morning. I just hope the heat doesn't come back full force.

[mdsepsakos]

No!

[sbck0617]

I agree with the air conditioning, but I cannot wait until the fall. I like cooler weather!
