I saw an interview with the guy who invented the Heat Index. When asked how old he was, he said 87 but I feel like 102

Should one be getting too hot a partial bathtub of cool water to sit in can help.
Guard against slips or falls of course and stay hydrated.

Yesterday our heat index was 110, actual high temp at my house was 97 degrees. Average for Florida this time of year.

AC's on Full Blast

 

[mtdoramike]

I run my AC at 78 degrees, but I have fans in every room to circulate the air, which helps in keeping my electric bill lower.

Regarding cooling off during a hot day.
It seems that a cool shower, isn't the best option.
Actually a warmer shower is better for cooling the body.
Cold/cool water constricts blood vessels, which then the body retains the heat.

Warm/hotter water opens the pores up, then the body can expel the excess heat.

 

[jeff of pa]

same here I have 2 Fans on used to be 5 before Installing a New AC.
(Not a Rusty Antique with holes rotted through any More)
the fans are on 24/7

My Door to the bedroom and
batroom is closed

only thing cooled is the livingroom and kitchen

No idea on temps other then comfortable at full

Small house sized ovens over 300 F. kept the shop hot at one long term of employment. Touch a metal support on the line and blister.
A wet rag on the back of the neck functioned a bit like a sweat band but cooled larger veins/arteries.

People would put a sweat band on without wetting it.
Like what are you doing? L.o.l.. .

If someone is in trouble from being over heated ; robbing heat from them is important. Osmosis can do it with cool water. No don't send them into shock or convulsions by plunging them.
Same with self.

Later the foundry employment required long pants, glasses, boots, and facemask and hardhat and gloves and...Summers were rather warm there too.
I didn't use hot water to wash hands much. Wrists are part of human radiators though.

Moved from Pa to Az in 2010. Hit 118 the other day. I just jump in the pool. Others go for a hike and die. When driving in hot conditions I carry ice water in case of a issue.

A "partial bathtub" might not hold enough cool water for those temperatures!

A lot of people die out there in the Desert don't they with out someone killing them. Just lack of water i think and maybe the heat ?
