We take cold showers and have frozen rags/shirts to cool
us down. So far that works but we can't keep that up for long.
Its getting hard to sleep, cook and even breathe.
It's a small studio like apartment on the second story.
I guess more fans around the rooms. Don't open the windows if it's hot outside, unless there's a breeze. If there is a breeze, then you have to have multiple windows open to create a crossbreeze.
Yeah my room gets really hot cause the window faces east.
Always set the Humidity level lower and gradually
increase it as time goes on but make sure it's set low
you may see a difference i know that;s what I had to do
You may need a nigher BTU A./ C
Yeah, we did need one with a bigger BTU. Ours was like 1000 BTU. WE got a 15000 now. It's qu chilly now.
Thank you for Mho glad to be of help for you :)
Glad it's cooling down i know how it can be
we get some bad humidity here in PA :)
Make the room dark, don't let the sun shine in. Also dont open the windows. It might sound crazy but if you think about it you just let the heat inside if you open. and try not to use stove , and don't run appliances like computers for no reason.
Shut windows during the hot periods and cover them when the sun is on them. Open them in the evening when the sun is gone and hope there is a breeze. Sleep at night with windows open (but musketo shield in case you have them)

Before you run the ac open all the windows and put a fan in the window to blow out all the hot air in the apartment.
consider getting an evaporative cooler which uses the evaporation of water for cooling and uses less electricity than the ac.
get a spray mist bottle and spray water on your face and your upper back and back of neck. this is a temporary effect but the water evaporating cools you. The same way sweat is supposed to work.
One other thing I do is put mylar in the windows which blocks much of the heat coming in through the windows. it kind of sucks that you can't see out your windows but it makes a noticable difference if you have windows facing east or west.
