bonus tip: if you live in a dry zone, get an air cooler. It’s an enclosed fan behind a self contained waterfall. Humid air is particularly cooling. A swamp cooler is another term for a similar thing (a damp surface with airflow). Humid air is not cooling though. It’s actually the opposite, because it makes water harder to evaporate, which is how our body tries to stay cool. That’s why a humidity feels so hot. Evaporation cools, which means we can use this to cool air, which is how these evaporative coolers work. They don’t feel cool because they’re humid. That’s a side effect. Water evaporating pulls heat out of the air, so it’s cooler.
