Global warming or not, scorching summers are becoming more and more intense, and with them the difficulty of staying efficient, especially when the heat is at its strongest. Fortunately, there are a number of ways of coping intelligently with these heatwaves. Here are 3 tips to help you beat the heat. <\/p>\n
The most natural way – and also the most economical – is to keep the shutters closed when it’s too hot outside. You can also take advantage of this by leaving your windows open to create a mini-draft of air, which will provide a slight hint of freshness. Ideally, open your windows at night until the early hours of the morning to let the heat out of the house, and hope that mosquitoes aren’t around (avoid this if you’re near a lake or stream). <\/p>\n
Do you have to go out during the heatwave, and are you a bit scared? One solution is to dress in white, carry a bottle of cool water and, above all, a hat or cap to protect you from the sun. At its zenith, the sun can be very harmful to your skin, so it’s up to you not to overexpose yourself. <\/p>\n
