How to cool a hot room without electricity?

You can cover windows with an awning, shutters, or insulated curtains. Leaving your windows uncovered during the sunniest hours of the day lets in a considerable amount of heat. Inside, keep blinds and curtains closed. Indoor window covering options vary, try shades, insulated curtains, or tinting or frosting windows. Create a cooling cross-breeze by positioning an oscillating fan across from an open window. If you’re using a window box fan, it should blow into your room at the coolest hours of the day and outward during the warmest hours of the day. You can also try placing a bowl of ice at an angle in front of the fan to get an extra chilly gust of air. Bathroom fans and kitchen exhaust fans draw heat and humidity away from your house. Use exhaust fans more regularly during the summer months to cool your home by turning them on during the day to draw hot air out of your home. Switching to light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs can help cool your home while lowering your energy expenses. Additionally, switch off any lamps or overhead lighting when not in use or the space is unoccupied. Open your windows to enjoy the cool night breeze after the sun sets. Utilize screens to keep mosquitos and flies out but let in the crisp air to cool your home overnight. Just don’t forget to close the windows and curtain again before day breaks and the hot sun rises again. Heat rises, so the air closest to the ground is the coolest. Try sleeping on a couch in the basement or on your home’s ground floor rather than on the second story, if possible. Alternatively, put your mattress on the floor to take advantage of the cooler air. Apply ice packs or cold compresses to pulse points, such as your neck and wrists. Stay hydrated with iced water and non-alcoholic drinks. And make smart clothing choices, pick loose, breathable cotton fabrics and light colors that do not absorb heat.
