Feeling hot hot hot?
Temperatures are soaring in the UK but, due to theAnd, unfortunately – unlike our European neighbours – our houses are not blessed with air conditioning.The good news is that there are a number of simple tricks for staying cool inside and most involve things that are already lying around the house.Simply put a bowl filled with ice water directly in front of a fan.As the ice melts the breeze from the fan will pick up the cool air coming from the ice’s surface.
An open window will also let hot air into the house, rather than cool air – which, if you have a fan on the go, completely defeats the point.Windows should be kept closed when the day is at its hottest, but once the heat starts to drop they can be opened again. Some of the best ones include rubber plants, Chinese evergreens, palms, mother-in-law’s tongues and ficus benjaminas.As you might remember from your secondary school science classes, light bulbs give off heat.
