My personal favorite. You will get cooled down quickly. We have no shortage of places to go, from community pools to the many lakes, parks and rivers we have access to.

If there's one thing we have plenty of, it's ice cream stands. Everyone of them have their own favorites and so many different forms of ice cream.

If air-conditioning is not available (it can be expensive) get a fan. Most fans are pretty inexpensive, and if placed correctly, can help to beat off some of that scorching heat and humidity.

If getting out to find a pool is not in the cards, how about jumping in the shower and take advantage of the cold water a bit. It's better than nothing, right?

Unless you have LED lights, they put out heat. Turn them off. Also close the blinds, Don't let that sun shine in. Do you have a bathroom fan or ceiling fan? Use it to cool down the house. At night, open the windows and get that cool air in, and close them in the morning before it gets hot again.
