    Keep windows open at night and into the morning

    Fan pointed straight at you, on max blast through the night

    It’s significantly worse if your house is humid, and dehumidifiers increase the heat, but they’re still worth it

      Fun fact: the reason air conditioners are called “conditioners” instead of “coolers” is that they were originally designed for dehumidification.

      Dehumidifiers should make it feel cooler since sweat evaporating is how we cool ourselves. Too much humidity means our sweat won’t evaporate and we can’t cool off.

      The difference between how 80 F feels at 65% humidity vs 45% humidity is ridiculous. Lower humidity also makes cooling yourself by misting or damp cloths a lot more effective, because it will evaporate quicker.
