To have a fast cooling sensation, wet your hands with water and put water on these places: behind the ears (most powerful), between nose and mouth, inside the elbows, inside the knees, armpits and neck. All these areas are usually warmer, it helps for a couple of minutes. In desperate cases I was also spraying water with a sprayer, on myself.
The only problem with water in general is that it increases humidity and humidity makes the heat more unbearable later, so don't rely too much on water itself. The ice bottles suggested by another user are a great thing because they don't add more humidity, since the ice is closed inside the bottles.
Another thing is just drink fresh drinks, keep a thermic bag with ice bricks (or how they are called) inside to keep the drinks cool if you don't have enough space in the fridge, so that you can put your cans or bottles back there while you're doing activities in other rooms or are too lazy to reach the kitchen, and they will keep being fresh.
Get intimate cleanser and toothpaste (or also chewingums) with menthol because when in contact with mucous membranes (mouth or vag too) it gives an artificial sensation of cooling.
Unfortunately one of the worst things is humidity. I got an air de-humidifier last year and it does really make a difference for me. I don't believe in those methods of using salt and stuff to catch humidity because when I see my dehumidifier spitting out the collected water that was in the air in the room, well, that's a lot of water, it couldn't be all stored in a bag of salt I guess. So I would say to not even bother with those methods...

It's all relative. I'm not rich, but I live by a standard that would humble a prince of ages past.

As for beating the heat, I enjoy having a basement apartment, nice and cool all summer.

'Poor' is my hobby.

Try ice in bottles that hang at the fan.

You can also use e thin wet bedsheet for cooling at night. That doesn't last forever, but at least a while.

A good idea is a good idea, regardless of where it comes from.

At least you have a roof on top of your head. I sleep witj only my boxers. I dont use blankets, just the thinnes cover sheet. Cooling fan is worth saving for.

I grew up poor. We had no AC. I just sweat a lot. Stay hydrated.

[MikeInHawaii]

My apartment isn’t air conditioned. I found a fan pointed at the bed is all I really need.

Thank God I haven't had to deal with that since being a kid. Have you tried the fan with ice trick?

[Guy13]
