How to escape from the heat during a road trip without air conditioning
Tips / / December 19, 2019
A few general rules and people's ingenuity will help you to transfer the heat of summer during car travel. There are a few general rules that must be followed during the hot period, not only in a car.
Summer - time hot. And while summer travel more often, as it's time to start the holiday. Not everyone in the car is air-conditioned. And even if he is present, you can not always use its services during the whole trip.
1. Wear light-colored clothes. The dark surface is heated, light-colored surface reflects sunlight - this rule we learned more in school physics lessons. It is advisable to wear light colored clothing made of natural fabrics that do not fit tightly to the body.
2. Begin the journey early in the morning. Early in the morning you can still catch the light coolness, so the more time that you can grab, the better.
3. Park the car in the shade and do not forget to hang the window reflectors. I think everybody knows what's going on with the car if it costs some time locked in the sun without reflectors.
4. Drink as much water as possible. And it is desirable that it was not just water, and cool water with lemon - it quenches thirst better.
5. Open the opposite window. This creates a greater ventilation than opening the windows, which are located on the same side. Of course, in a traffic jam it should not do!
6. Hang to purge the system in the car towel soaked in cold water. The air will pass through the wet towel and allowed to cool.
7. Use a spray bottle with water. Moisturize with the help of the air in the car, as well as your face, hands and feet.
8. Eat spicy food. Here I can not say that it is a universal advice because your stomach is sensitive to spicy food, it will be more sabotage than help. Spicy food helps your body to equalize its temperature to the ambient temperature, because of this heat is felt not so much, and after a while sweating decreases.
I hope this at least a little easier your trip in the summer. Since I reviewed a huge number of resources that are written on this subject, but did not find anything original, I would like to know your "traditional methods". Do you have your ways of escape from the summer heat in the car?
