A hot summer can be difficult for those who do not have an air conditioner. There are, thankfully, other ways to deal with hot weather.\n\n\n\n

Use \u201ccold\u201d curtains\n\n\n\n

It is critical to understand how we perceive temperature. In hot climate cities, it is preferable to use light and cold colors that create the illusion of cool air in a space.\n\n\n\n

Of course, not everyone is brave enough to open their curtains when it’s extremely hot outside, but it’s well worth it.\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Freeze your pillow\n\n\n\n

In summer, it\u2019s hard for us to get a good night\u2019s sleep. To make sleeping more comfortable, put your pillowcase in a bag and let it cool down in the freezer.\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Put a\u00a0frozen bottle in\u00a0your bed\n\n\n\n

If you place a cold bottle of water in your bed before going to sleep, you may find it easier to fall asleep.\n\n\n\n

When you’re awake, the same idea works: put a bag of frozen rice on the back of your head and you’ll feel so much better on a hot day.\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Buy house plants\n\n\n\n

House plants help reduce the temperature inside the home, and they clear and moisturize the air. Ficus Benjamina, Aglaonema, and palm trees are the best choices for this.\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Get rid of\u00a0textiles\n\n\n\n

On hot days, it\u2019s better to get rid of thick fabrics, decorative pillows, carpets, and comforters. It\u2019s believed that dark fabrics attract heat and it\u2019s better to buy bed sheets that are made of light and organic materials.\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Being somewhere with thick curtains\n\n\n\n

Even though it\u2019s better to replace textiles with lighter fabrics, this is not true for curtains. They should be as thick as possible. On a hot day, it\u2019s better to keep the windows closed, but don\u2019t forget about air circulation.\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Humidify the air\n\n\n\n

You can buy an air humidifier or simply use a spray bottle.\n\n\n\n

You can also wash the floor but don\u2019t do\u00a0it\u00a0too often because when it\u2019s too humid, it\u2019s harder.\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\n\n\n

Minimize electricity consumption\n\n\n\n

It’s best not to use devices on hot days because they heat the air, which is already hot enough. Instead of watching TV at home, go to the movies, where air conditioners are available.\n\n\n\n

The same can be said for using the stove. Eat cool, light foods on hot days.\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Bonus: 2 simple life hacks to help your pets survive a heatwave\n\n\n\n
  • Attach a\u00a0rubber mat to\u00a0the side of\u00a0the pool to\u00a0help your pet get out if\u00a0it\u00a0falls\u00a0in.
  • You can put an\u00a0ice tray near your pets to\u00a0make it\u00a0easier for them. We\u00a0at\u00a0Bright Side\u00a0have already noticed that it\u00a0cools them down.\n\n\n\n
