Old tip the locals gave when I lived abroad was to spend a few mins under the ceiling fan after a shower while still damp, it helped us cool the bodies core and worked a treat, a fan on a table works too
Also fill water bottles 2/3 and freeze on their side, fill with more water when you’re ready to drink and it’ll keep itself cool for hours
And the last was to soak a tea towel and freeze flat, was gorgeous to hug on too hot days |

Everything gets me sweaty nowadays
I have tablets that make me cold, and other tablets that make me really warm
So I’m constantly going between absolutely sweating, to absolutely freezing
Whenever a shower I take about 40 mins or so when I get out to do things slowly so I don’t end up a giant sweaty mess all over again
Doesn’t always work  |

It helps to keep your place cool by opening windows and doors on opposite sides to get a through-flow of air. As long as it’s not silly temperatures outside, but low 20s will be fine.
Also remember that a fan only circulates air at the temperature of the room. It doesn’t cool it.
The cooling effect is produced by the movement of air on your skin.
I shall be setting homework, so pay attention. |

"What’s with that overheated feeling when you’re freshly showered and getting dressed? I’ve got all sweaty again! Dang!  "
Possibly, and, there’s no scientific evidence for this, maybe have a cooler shower?
Either that or it’s the Mary poppins menopause. |

Winter lasted forever. I'm not yet at the stage of hankering for a cool day. Bring on the sunshine, the roses and the poppies, the elderflower, the long evenings and the chilled wine. And my traditional sunburn, which I am annually too stupid to avoid and have simply accepted will arrive alongside the swallows & swifts. |
