Summer is in full bloom. Energy to run the AC has become scarce as heat waves spread through most of the U.S. There are numerous things you can do to cool off if your Santa Barbara home is without an AC.
Place something frozen in your hand for as long as possible . This will cool down your body for more than an hour and will lower your temperature by as much as 3 degrees F. Stop if it begins to hurt. Drink a lot of H2O, even if you aren't thirsty. All of the fluids depleted from perspiration have to be made up somewhere. Keep out of direct sunlight. If you do go outside, cover up with airy, loose-fitting clothes.
Turn off all heat sources such as lights or the TV. Get your hair wet by taking a cool shower or bath. Place a damp towel behind your neck, on your forehead, on the inside of your wrists and elbows, and on the backs of your knees. The rest of your body will naturally cool down by cooling these points.
Go to the library, a bookstore, or other air-conditioned spot if everything else fails. Humans have lived for many years without AC. Roughing it for a couple days will not be that difficult.
