Hello friends!
Now, back to our summer. Last year, this season was not very hot, at least here with us. But it is not a fact that next summer will be as gentle. Now miracles happen to the weather, what if the devilish heat begins? And from her it is necessary to somehow escape.
In this article, we have collected for you 10 of the most simple and, indeed, working tips on how to escape the heat of the summer without air conditioning and other expensive and bulky devices.
In summer, the thermometer can rise very, very high. This crazy heat is not at all happy, but rather annoying. Plus, it is hazardous to health. Therefore, it is important to know how to escape the heat in summer. Not only in an apartment without air conditioning, but in general.
First, let's figure out why the intense summer heat is dangerous. The answer is simple, because our body can overheat, I will say even more, overheating is dangerous not only for humans, but also for animals. Don't forget this!
The sun's rays are not only a beautiful tan and good mood. It is also important that they are very aggressive, and if you forget about this and spend whole days under the scorching sun, the consequences can be very sad.
Plus, when it's too hot, the body reacts with sweat and loses a lot of fluids and vital minerals. Failure to quickly replenish the fluid supply will lead to dehydration, which, in turn, can lead to poor circulation, and all the ensuing consequences.
So, the summer sun can "please":
Burns... And if it seems to you that this is nonsense, then in vain. Sunburn can lead to unpleasant consequences:
suppression of immunity;
skin cancer;
benign abnormalities of melanocytes (freckles, melanocytic nevi, and so on);
This, of course, with prolonged abuse of the sun's rays, but it is worth knowing about it. And also, getting burnt in the sun is painful, so I try to stay in the shade in the summer.
Heatstroke... This is also very serious. Of course, you can get heatstroke without going outside in the summer heat, for example, if it is very stuffy and hot in a room or car.
Heatstroke signs:
redness of the skin;
weakness;
nausea, vomiting;
dizziness, darkening in the eyes, visual hallucinations (flickering in front of the eyes, a feeling of movement of foreign objects, crawling creeps in front of the eyes);
fast and weak pulse;
the skin becomes hotter and drier;
muscle cramps and pain;
rapid breathing.
Sunstroke... This is a form of Warm Stroke, but it can only be earned by being under the scorching sun. He also has a number of severe symptoms:
weakness;
temperature;
nausea and vomiting;
loss of consciousness.
Most of all, children, the elderly, people whose body is dehydrated, suffering from diabetes, and overweight people are susceptible to heat and sunstroke.
Of course, our body copes with high temperatures (30 degrees ±), but this does not mean that it does not need help in this. There are many ways to cope with the summer heat, indoors and outdoors.
Stay less under the scorching sun
This is the simplest, but one of the most important tips - just try to spend more time in the shade, especially at lunchtime (from 1 pm to 4 pm). Places near water and in the shade of trees are especially good. Not during a thunderstorm, of course =)
No sports during the day
Sports activities on hot days put a heavy load on the body and this does not have a good effect on it. Better to postpone them until evening or early morning. Of course not, if you play sports in well-air-conditioned rooms where the temperature is comfortable, then everything is fine, but you should be careful with outdoor activities.
The second problem in the hot season is ozone. When the sun is shining, the ozone content in the air often increases and the plant's ability to absorb it is drastically reduced. This gas does not work very well on humans:
irritates the respiratory tract;
causes headaches;
redness of the eyes
cough and lung dysfunction.
Combined with exercise, the effect can be dire.
The right clothes
Black or dark clothing attracts the sun's rays and heats the body, everyone knows this, but light clothing, white or beige, reflects these rays. Therefore, fleeing the heat in summer, choose light-colored clothes with a wide cut so that the breeze blows.
However, there is a directly opposite point of view: since light clothing reflects heat, therefore, it also reflects the heat of our own body back, while black absorbs it. And there is a version that dark clothes, again, with a wide cut helps to fight the heat more effectively. It's up to you to decide, but personally I choose something light for the summer.
And yet, under the scorching sun you cannot stay for a long time without a headdress, otherwise the likelihood of getting sunstroke increases significantly.
I need to drink more
Replenishing body fluids is essential, especially at high temperatures. The type of drink is decisive: drinks with caffeine or alcohol stimulate blood circulation, but sprinting juices and mineral water or unsweetened herbal teas are ideal.
What about the temperature of the drinks? The optimal temperature for drinking is warm, as hot or too cold drinks constrict the blood vessels and heat the body even more.
And yet, drinking in the heat is necessary not only when you are already thirsty. Because then there is already a deficiency of fluid in the body.
Light food
Fried pork with dumplings in summer is not a very good option - it's bad for your well-being. The reason is that the heavier the food, the more energy the body has to spend on digestion. But salads, vegetables, fish and foods with a low carbohydrate content are a good option for a hot time of the day. Very light, salty meat and vegetable broths, in turn, optimize the mineral balance.
The best way to escape the heat in an apartment is an air conditioner, but it is not always available. Therefore, we will proceed from the fact that it is cheaper to get, for example, curtains. It is highly recommended to shade rooms with blinds and curtains in the summer heat. Just remember that not all of them protect from heat, most often the curtains save only from the sun, so when choosing this element of the interior, pay attention to heat protection.
Heat-insulating roller blinds and screens are easy to recognize by their appearance, they are covered with special enamels or varnish.
Ventilation and disconnection of electrical appliances
If it is hot outside, the windows must remain closed, otherwise heat will break into the house. Therefore, it is necessary to ventilate the premises late in the evening or very early in the morning - provided that the outside temperature is lower than the room temperature.
Another problem is electrical appliances, as they generate a lot of heat. You can simply turn them off. Of course, no one suggests turning off the refrigerator, but something not so serious is possible.
Choice of bed linen and blankets
Of course, you can't stay completely without a blanket, even on a summer night you can freeze. But, nevertheless, for this season it is better to choose blankets made of lightweight breathable material, fortunately, now the choice is wide.
In addition, bed linen is best made from a slightly cooling material such as mako satin, silk, linen, or percale cotton.
Of course, it's cool to cool off somewhere in a lake, river or pool, but, unfortunately, this is not always an affordable option. If this is not possible, you can always take a shower.
Important: the water temperature must be warm, not cold, otherwise the body will heat up again.
Doctor call
And last but not least, if you find symptoms of heat or sunstroke in yourself or someone you know, call your doctor immediately. This is no joke, the danger is deadly!
While the ambulance is on its way, have the victim go to a cool place. It is not necessary to cool down with ice water, it is better to take off your clothes and wipe your body with a sponge or napkin soaked in cool water.
Yes, a 30-degree heat is not a gift, for me 25 is already a disaster, but there is nothing wrong with it, if you know the "safety precautions".
That's all, we'll see you in the next articles. Good luck!
P. S. And remember that it is absolutely impossible to leave your pets locked in the car in the heat for a long time! This threatens their lives.
If the house does not have an air conditioner, and the temperature outside the window is below 30 degrees, of course, it will be difficult to protect your apartment in a concrete or brick tower from the heat, open to the sun's rays, especially if the windows of the room face the sunny side.
Air conditioning has already become a must-have accessory for any apartment in any city where the temperature can rise above 30 degrees for at least a few days. However, in many apartments there is no air conditioner for one reason or another, and somehow it is necessary to save oneself from the scorching rays of the sun, heating the street thermometer to incredible temperatures. Especially for the owners of such apartments, AiF.ru reminds 5 of the most effective ways to escape the heat.
The first thing to do in hot weather is to prevent sunlight from entering through the windows facing the sunny side. Otherwise, at 5 o'clock in the morning, the burning rays will wake you up, and the stuffiness in the room will not let you fall asleep again.
The easiest method is to close the window with thick curtains. But such a move will only delay the onset of heat in the room. The curtains, of course, will save the room from direct rays, but sooner or later they will heat up themselves and begin to transfer heat to the room until it becomes stuffy.
The second way to prevent the penetration of sunlight into the apartment is more effective, but less aesthetic. The windows need to be sealed with a special reflective film, which is sold in any hardware store and costs quite reasonable money. If there is no hardware store nearby, even regular food foil, which you can buy at the grocery store, will do. It must be glued to the window with a reflective surface on the street. Foil perfectly reflects the sun's rays, preventing the room from heating up.
Often, air conditioners in the apartment are not installed, not because of some material difficulties, but simply because they are not suitable for the tenants - they cause or aggravate diseases. In this case, in order not to disfigure the windows with cling film glued to them every summer, you can simply put plastic windows with mirrored glasses. They perform the same reflective function as foil, but they look aesthetically pleasing, and from the inside through them you can calmly look out the window, as through dark glasses.
It is believed that in the absence of an air conditioner, a fan should help to escape from the heat in an apartment, of which there are a huge number on the market today. But after buying a fan, disappointment soon comes, because it creates only the appearance of coolness, driving the heated air in a circle.
Few people know that this practically useless fan, which only makes life easier for a short time, can be easily turned into an air conditioner with the help of improvised means.
It is enough just to freeze the water in the refrigerator and put the resulting ice or put it in the way of the air from the working fan. The air will be slightly cooled with ice, and the temperature in the apartment will gradually drop to an acceptable level.
For convenience, you don't have to bother with the ice, because for normal cooling you need a large enough piece, which will also melt soon. It is much easier to put a plastic bottle of water inside the freezer. The water will turn into ice, and the effect of a plastic ice bottle on the path of air from the fan will be the same as that of regular ice. While you are using one bottle, the second can be put in the refrigerator, and when the ice in the first melts, just swap them.
Usually we are used to being afraid of drafts. But in hot weather, they can be a real salvation from the heat. To create a draft, one prerequisite is necessary - the windows of your apartment must face opposite sides of the house.
The windows facing different sides of the house must be opened - this will ensure the flow of air through the apartment, which will slightly refresh it.
If this draft is not enough for you, the force of the "wind" can be increased with the help of the same fan. It is enough just to install it at the window through which the air comes out, and direct it not inside the apartment, but outside. It will blow hot air out of the apartment at a higher speed, and through another window, fresher air will penetrate into the apartment in large quantities.
If you have a one-room apartment and you can't create a draft, you can just try to open a window and put a fan in it, pointing it inward. It will drive fresher air into the room, automatically pushing stagnant and hot air out of it.
The heat in the apartment is usually accompanied by a real drought. To somehow reduce the temperature in the room, the air must be humidified. And it is better not just to moisturize, but to moisturize with cold water. This should reduce the temperature in the room by several degrees, because in this case more energy will be spent on heating air humidified with cool water from nature than on heating dry air.
Special humidifiers, which are present in large quantities on the shelves of electronics stores, will help to humidify the air. The fan installed next to them will make their work even more efficient, which will disperse the humidified air throughout the apartment.If you don’t want to buy a humidifier, an ordinary spray bottle will help, which can manually humidify the air in the apartment. In this case, we advise you to pour cold water into the spray bottle, so it will be much more effective.
Using the same spray bottle, you can dampen the curtains covering the window. This will need to be done periodically throughout the day to prevent the sun from heating the curtains, and then with their help, the whole apartment.
The final step in humidifying a room is to remove carpets from the floor, if present, and periodically wipe the floor with cold water. Vapors from this water can slightly lower the room temperature.
In some places, it is also advised to hang sheets soaked in cold water around the apartment, but we doubt the aesthetic qualities of such an undertaking. Although, if things are so bad that aesthetics don't give a damn, sheets can be a great way to fight the heat.
And the last popular method of saving from the heat in an apartment, which in many cases is the least effective, is a heated towel rail wrapped in foil in the bathroom. This method of cooling the entire apartment is unlikely to help, but if you are experiencing problems with heat and in the bathroom, this method is for you.
It's simple - you need to wrap a heated towel rail, which in most apartments is heated by running water and cannot be turned off, in foil. The foil will keep the heat inside, preventing it from entering the apartment.
It is sometimes difficult to survive the heat in a city apartment, especially on the upper floors, where the air heats up to 40-50 degrees, but making your life easier is real. How to escape the heat in a typical city apartment? How can you make it easier for children to cope with the heat?
The residents of brick houses are most fortunate - they have every chance of not melting. Brick has a high thermal inertia, that is, the wall heats up slowly. Therefore, in old buildings, where the walls are two or two and a half bricks thick, people feel most comfortable in the heat.
Inhabitants of panel high-rise buildings have the worst case - the light concrete from which they are built heats up very quickly. The heat wave travels directly into the apartment, transforming it into a kind of sauna. The same applies to monolithic houses - however, they are often saved by fashionable ventilated facades.
So how can you escape the heat at home if you are unlucky with your home? We often use the most obvious ways - we often go to the shower and open all the windows in the house. But obvious doesn't mean effective. There are little tricks that make it easier to fight the heat.
Fresh wind flow effect
They say that the best way to escape the heat in an apartment is to buy an air conditioner. But this is not included in our advice: an air conditioner is expensive, it loves to consume large amounts of electricity, and, helping to escape the heat, it is harmful to health (it dries the air, it collects a lot of dust and bacteria).
Buy a fan, it is several times cheaper than an air conditioner. Place several bottles of frozen water or a plate of ice under or opposite a fan. This will create the effect of an air conditioner, cold air will blow.
You can remember your childhood and make a fan. Everyone knows how to use it, and unlike a fan, it does not consume electricity.
Close the windows of the premises during the day, and in the early morning or evening, arrange a draft. This way you cool the room.
Close windows
The first thing to do in hot weather is to prevent sunlight from entering through the windows facing the sunny side. Otherwise, at 5 o'clock in the morning, the burning rays will wake you up, and the stuffiness in the room will not let you fall asleep again.
Hang curtains or blinds on the windows. If light enters a room, it raises the temperature of the dwelling by 3-10 degrees, while also creating a greenhouse effect.
Windows can be covered with reflective tape. Such a film is inexpensive, but it gives an effect. Alternatively, you can sew the film to the curtains from the side of the window.
If there is no hardware store nearby, even regular food foil, which you can buy at the grocery store, will do. It must be glued to the window with a reflective surface on the street. Foil perfectly reflects the sun's rays, preventing the room from heating up.
Pay attention to the color of your curtains. White fabric repels sunlight, while black fabric absorbs.
3 sheet secrets: how a simple cloth can help you withstand the heat
Firstly, you can hang sheets on the windows - they will lower the temperature in the apartment by several degrees.
Secondly, a wet sheet can be used instead of a blanket, only it will have to be wetted several times a night. But you will save yourself from the heat for the whole night.
Thirdly, the sheet (or baby diapers) can be worn over the shoulders, like a cloak of musketeers! They cool perfectly during household chores and games.
Drink it right
Avoid drinking soda, which will not quit your thirst. In hot weather, it is better to use drinks that are made from natural products. Moreover, it will help the body to get full. If there are no restrictions on the use of water, try to drink more (it is advisable to drink at least two liters of liquid per day).
Other tricks
Replace incandescent bulbs with fluorescent or LED. They generate 80% less heat than incandescent bulbs.
Try not to turn on your computer and other power-consuming appliances during the day. This will help keep you cool in the room.
Try not to use the stove and oven. In the heat, as a rule, you do not feel like eating, this is a natural reaction. Eat fresh vegetables and fruits, or have a cold snack.
Take pets as an example, they are inactive in the heat. Try and you to reduce your activity during the hot part of the day, get up earlier or do things in the evening.
Houseplants help you withstand heat much more easily because their secretions cool the surrounding air. If you are not afraid to forget about your "green friends" and intend to water them with strict regularity - go ahead. You can buy seasonal plants if you don't really need them in winter. And choose flowers with large, wide leaves: their highlighting surface is more extensive, which means there should be more potential benefits.
It is necessary to wrap a heated towel rail, which in most apartments is heated by running water and cannot be turned off, in foil. The foil will keep the heat inside, preventing it from entering the apartment.
Showers, bathtubs and basins as a way to better endure the heat
In the heat, our body heats up, so after returning home from the face don't get into a cold shower right away, the cardiovascular system suffers from this. In hot weather, it is better to take a warm shower: when you go out, the ambient temperature will seem colder than it actually is.
Go to the shower and bathroom at least 10 times a day, rinse the children especially often, this will help to survive the heat, even if it is +40 at home.
When taking a shower, try not to use detergents, they dry the skin.
The bathtub can simply be filled with water, evaporating, it humidifies the air and slightly lowers the temperature in the apartment, helping to endure the heat.
One bathtub fails? Put basins of ice water in all rooms, you can even throw ice from the freezer into the water. And don't forget to change the water, it heats up quickly. And also take a spray bottle and spray water in the room, the colder the better, it will be much easier to endure the heat!
The pool in the room will help children survive the heat
Do you have small children? They have nowhere to swim? They don't know how to escape the heat? Buy them a pool! Inflatable! No, this is not a joke. It is necessary to take a not very large inflatable pool and a bedding for a large pool (these are beddings so that the pool does not break, if any filth is lying on the ground, they do not get wet). We cover the entire floor with a mat, put a pool in the center, additionally put absorbent rags on the mat, which are sold for cleaning the floor, and let the children swim, not forgetting to give them toys. Very soon, you yourself will have a desire to climb into the pool and survive the heat in it.
How to fall asleep in the heat
If the heat makes it difficult to fall asleep, a couple of hours before bedtime, put the bedding in a plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator. Over time, of course, the bed will warm up, but it will be much more pleasant to fall asleep. In addition, bed linen and pillows should be made from lightweight and natural fabrics.
Choose lightweight, breathable fabrics that quickly evaporate moisture from the surface. And no synthetics: it disrupts the natural heat exchange of the body with the environment and will work like foil on the bed when cooking in the oven. You will literally fry, and even wake up on damp sheets.
Sleep with an open balcony or wide windows at night.
Keep a bottle of cold water near your bed so that you can wet your throat and wipe your face at night without getting out of bed.
How to escape the heat outside?
Any heat is more easily tolerated outside the city. If possible, go to the village to relax, eat natural vegetables and fruits.
If there is a cool pool and forest near your house, and business can be postponed until the end of the heat, then you are in luck. Go outside in the morning and evening.
A light, light umbrella will create shade. A fan will help to escape the heat when you are waiting for transport at a bus stop, in transport, in a stuffy store and other hot places.
Adapt! After all, people have lived without air conditioners for hundreds of years, and many continue to live even now. Lead a healthy lifestyle, keep fit, and you will feel comfortable in any weather.
