Hot Weather Hacks: Unexpected Ways to Stay Cool This Summer

Hot Weather Hacks: Unexpected Ways to Stay Cool This Summer

The summer heat isn’t holding back this year. With temperatures soaring between 25°C and 34°C across the US, UK, Canada, and beyond, even stepping outside feels like stepping into a sauna. But staying cool doesn’t always mean blasting your AC. Sometimes, the best solutions are the simplest ones—and some are even surprisingly old-school.

Here are the top tried-and-true (and TikTok-approved) ways to keep your cool this summer:


💦 1. Ice + Fan = Instant AC Vibes

Grab a bowl of ice or frozen water bottles and place it right in front of your fan. As the fan blows across the ice, it creates a chilled breeze that can cool down a small room surprisingly well. This hack costs nothing and feels like a breath of fresh, alpine air.

🌞 2. Keep Curtains Closed During Peak Hours

Sunlight streaming through windows adds serious heat. Close your blinds or curtains between 11AM and 4PM to prevent your room from turning into a greenhouse. Bonus points for using blackout or thermal curtains.

🚑 3. Cool Your Pulse Points

Run your wrists under cold water, apply an ice cube to your neck or place a damp cloth on your ankles. Cooling these areas can quickly bring down your body temperature.

🪨 5. Chill Your Sheets and Skincare

Toss your pillowcase, top sheet, or even a face mist into the fridge for 30 minutes before bedtime. You’ll be amazed how refreshing it feels, especially after a hot day.

🛋️ 6. Sleep Low & Light

Hot air rises, so the closer to the floor, the cooler it is. If possible, sleep on a lower level or use a floor mattress. Also, swap out heavy bedding for cotton or bamboo sheets.

🍵 7. Stay Hydrated With More Than Water

Hydration isn’t just about water. Snack on hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumber, and oranges. Keep infused water in the fridge with lemon and mint for an extra-refreshing twist.
