Recently summer has started and it's gotten really hot. The air is constantly 25+ celsius. With that came also a problem. My room is in a crappy location and in the evenings the sun shines to my room. Then it get's really hot(currently 34°C/~93°F), and it gets hard to play SC2. What are some ways to make the room/myself colder? Sorry for my bad english.   | ||

- Wear only your boxers now that no one can see you. - Get a fan and have it blow all the sweat away and circulate air in the room Personally I don't mind the heat up to about 38C doing those things. | ||

There are special bamboo mats that you can get to place on your chair to relief heat. Get a fan. If you have AC then AC+fan is a great combo as it helps the air circulate. Natural wind works best if it have a path to enter and escape your room. Keeping your door open by a few inches help. | ||

- fan - keep your room's window open all the time (you may also need a net against mosquitos, flies, etc) - drink cold drinks such as Nestea, beer, etc These are my preferable ways. | ||

I also plan my day around the heat. I try to get work done when it is really hot because I can work in shitty conditions. I play SC2 from 8 am to 11 am, then again at 9:30pm to 11:30pm. | ||

Do you jump into it cold, or start warm and slowly get yourself to cold? | ||

Just washing your face with ice cold water a few times before a game helps too. As for the evening sun, I know that feel bro, it's hot as fuck. You just gotta get some curtains to block that.

Buy a bunch of large CO2 cartridges (but I would say that argon, methane, or any other heavy gas works better so you should probably use those). If you release the gas inside, the canister will get very cold. So what you do is you get into a bathtub with them and start using one of those device thingies to open them. As the gas expands and stuff, it cools. Refrigerators work based on this principle. Cold air is denser than hot air so it will stay in the tub. To give the cool air maximum exposure to you, lie down with your head pretty low. You will feel pretty good because of the coolness, but just keep opening the cartridges. 100% safe method of cooling down. | ||

Its stupid and its only something which americans does and you dont wanna copy the americans, so there you go. You should exercise. A body in great condition is also capable of dealing better with extremeties. so get out there and get your pulse up!! | ||

I moved down in my parents basement, it's really chilly and feels good to sleep in when you've been outside all day. | ||

It depends if I feel the core of my body is really warm or not. If my core feels really hot then cold water can be really shocking and hard to adapt to so I start out hot-ish. Otherwise I start cold. | ||

You read right, whenever I open a bag of chips it has this nice cool feeling. It's really weird, but it's awesome! | ||

It's usually only 20 something C outside, but in my room it gets to 30+ C easily after noon time. Then, if I fire up my gaming rig, the temperature rises even further to around 35C. Damn student housing the lack of AC or the right to install one... | ||
