favourite cooling down method in heat?

What is your favourite cooling down system in very hot weather?

Mine has to be spraying myself with cold water (included mini spray bottle always with me) and drink a lot of freezing cold fizzy water.

 

Fans.....and when it is really boiling, sitting with the gell pack from the freezer on my lap (heaven).

 

I normally check what the weather's going to be like the day before, and then I put a drink in the freezer so I can use it to put on my head :yess:

 

Nice cool shower, then sitting on my garden swing in the shade admiring my flowers and veg' growing while sipping a cold drink with ice.

 

Watch out for the brain freeze there Kyle

Give me a non stop supply of cold showers that do for me cocker!

 

Close the curtains. Open windows only on the shaded side of the house. Damp cloth or kitchen paper towel on the back of the neck, cool drinks and a long tepid shower (or several).

 

Half close the curtains, open the windows back and front then turn the fans on (of which I have many) full blast!!!

Take a short ride out to the country with the climate control to 18C... Just what we did today.. when we got back home it was 30C outside...Oh boy..

 

Open all windows and start the fans going:DOh and plenty of frozen squash from out of the freezer

 

I also like to avoid the sun, so keep my bedroom curtains closed to keep it cool and then return outside when it rains :yess:

 

I had a hard morning doing someone elses garden in this heat.
I went to see the Grand children this afternoon,took the shoes off my throbing feet and jumped in the paddling pool it was heaven and they soaked me ...........Cool.

 

I stay out of it as best I can, shut the curtains, open windows, splash my face with cold water - A LOT and drink plenty of cold drinks.

At night when its really humid I lie there with a towel soaked in cold water on me, I look stupid but it's very refreshing :thumb:

 

Shiney with you on this one

We have outdoor shower system for cleaning equipment.
Standing under that today was the best part of my day.

Also like Kyle I learned the value of freezing water over night. I use an insulated bottle carrier which goes over the shoulder like a back pack. The water stays cool all day.
