We're not setup for hot weather, so we resort to all kinds of things to keep us and our homes cool.

Apart from ordering fans from Amazon, what else have you been doing to keep cool?

That just sounds like evaporative cooling from your skin drying.

    That's the second part of it, but if it was just that putting room temperature water on you would cool you down. Your blood vessels near the skin widen in hot water (vasodilation), and hotter water results in better evaporative cooling once you get out.
