To keep cool effectively, especially in hot weather, several practical tips stand out:

• Stay out of direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day and wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing and a hat to protect from the sun.
• Keep skin cool by wetting clothes, using cooling sprays, or taking cool (not freezing) showers.
• Drink plenty of water regularly to stay hydrated and eat light meals with high water content like fruits and vegetables.
• Limit physical activity to cooler parts of the day, such as early morning or evening.
• Keep indoor spaces cool by closing curtains on sun-facing windows, using fans strategically, and creating makeshift air conditioning with frozen water bottles in front of fans.
• Use cold packs or ice on pulse points like wrists, neck, and ankles to cool the blood rapidly.
• At night, take a lukewarm shower before sleeping and avoid heavy bedding, opting for cotton sheets and possibly cooling socks.
• Avoid heat-producing activities indoors like cooking during peak heat times.

These combined measures help reduce body temperature and maintain comfort safely during heatwaves or hot weather conditions.
