Protip: Take a shirt and wet it down, then wear it and sit in front of a fan. It works like an air cooler. The evaporation draws the heat out of your body and the fan turbo-charges this process.

    As a Brazilian who's also experienced with a hot climate, I'd say this would work if anthropogenic climate change weren't leading to... wet bulb... high temperatures. When current temperatures are 40°C and the air's relative humidity is practically 100%, no amount of wetting or sweating will get rid of the warmth, because evaporation can't happen when the air is already saturated.!lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world
