Lying in a cool to cold bath for about half an hour will keep you cool for 4 or 5 hours. Excellent last thing at night if the heat makes sleeping difficult.

Apparently holding your wrist under cold running water is very cooling. Must be something to do with cooling the veins.

Teetime, it seems like this sports cloth should be prescribed for old people during heat waves and carers advised how to use it.

Have you tried the new sports cloths that you immerse in water shake it all about and it goes very cold and you drape it round your neck or other body part- it stays cold for ages. All the golfers seem to have them - I thought everyone was wearing a J cloth. I bought one for DH and he loves it. When he has a migraine his head feels terribly hot so it will be great for that.

Especially if you are looking after an old person or a young child, it's good to know that to cool someone down a tepid sponge method is quick and easy. The thing is not to dry the skin , as the evaporation cools..
