I live in the UK, but our summers are getting hotter, and I’m struggling with profuse sweating and mild dehydration.
If you are or were a student in Australia, Mexico, southern USA, Spain, Portugal, Greece, South Africa, or any other hot parts of the world, how do/did you stay cool during the day?
Note: I am familiar with the idea of a siesta; this is not an option.
If the solution is clothing, I don’t really care about gendered clothing. If it fits and looks good, it’s fine.
Thanks!
EDIT: For context, I am a student who is specifically having trouble during the school day, so AC systems and curtains aren’t viable either. It’s really clothing and strategy that I need to think about.
Run cool water over your forearms.
If you have a bucket of ice water you can dunk your arms in for extra effect.
Helps cool you down pretty quick.
If you can cool your feet it’s much better at cooling your whole body.
