Living in a house without air conditioning can be a nightmare in the summer; here are a few ways to make it more bearable.

You can use your freezer in many ways during the hot weather; not just to keep your food in. A great tip is to freeze a pillowcase and when you take it up to bed with you; you will be kept cool enough to go to sleep. Ice packs are also helpful on your feet, head and wrists.

Always make sure that you have plenty of ice packs on the go. This means that there always some in the freezer to replace the one you are using.

As your home doesn’t have air conditioning, you have to make the most of the next best thing, and that is fans. Clever positioning can get the maximum effect from your fans. Only have two windows open, at opposite ends of the room, or house if it is open plan. With one fan facing in and one out, the cool air is effectively drawn through the room, or house.

Get a shirt or top and wet it thoroughly. Wring it out and pop it on, by doing this and then sitting beside one of the fans will cool you right down. To avoid feeling sticky straight after a shower, let the shower air dry you instead.

Often the most effective way of cooling down during the day is to leave the house. There is always shade available outside, so sit yourself down and set your sprinkler so it comes over you.

Get to know all the other air conditioned places around your town and take advantage of it. Stores and libraries etc want to keep their visitors cool so get yourself along there.

Stay safe as well as staying cool. A freezer full of iced lollies and pops and a fridge full of water is essential. Oh, and why not pop round and see that friend with the air conditioned home?
