Can traditional cooling methods provide some relief in the upcoming summer compared to air conditioning?

Anish Asokan @RevivedWarrior (3853) • India 16 Feb 25

The summer is going to start in most of the Asian countries and the temperature has already touched 30C in some regions. We are all set for long and perhaps hard summer in all realities. With power outages and water scarcity, it...

It is that time of year

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 7 Oct 24

That phrase could mean a lot of things. It could mean "pumpkin spice time" or "apple picking time" or fall holiday time. In my case it mostly just means we do not have to run the heat or the air conditioning. It is that very...

For the first time in--? Couldn't take a photo of the food I made today, as I don't have a phone or camera, but there's a photo of food I've made in the past. It's cooling, now, and when it's cool I can put it in the feeder and...

Running the Dehumidifier

Denise @petatonicsca (7070) • Japan 17 Jul 22

So far this summer, I have been able to avoid using the air conditioning (cooling down the air) setting on our wall aircon/heater. For those of you who don't know, there is no such thing as central heating or cooling in Japan. We...

Finally

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (84699) • Daytona Beach, Florida 29 May 21

I don't recall how long it's been, but a good week or more. We finally are getting some rain. It got unbarably hot today so I'm thankful for the thunderstorm we're getting. It appears to have wound down by the time I got around to...

Sunny outside, dripping inside

Denise @petatonicsca (7070) • Japan 6 Aug 20

So it has finally started to be sunny and hot (about 35ºC at midday, which is not too bad but still pretty hot at 75% humidity). Most houses in Japan only heat or cool one or two rooms at a time through "aircon", which is an air...

Shade trees

Denise @petatonicsca (7070) • Japan 9 Aug 19

The other day I had a gardener come and trim the two trees that are in my teeny yard (which is about a meter and a half wide and nine meters long) because my neighbor believes that all trees should be kept down to one floor level....

Cooling Fan

It's been hot over here for the entire month, I thought April was the hottest. So I've finally tried making an ice bottle and put it into a cooling fan. But nothing happens, I didn't feel much coolness. Maybe some day I would...

Household expenses

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 30 Jan 18

Is it the heating or cooling season for you? Maybe you really do not do either, if you are lucky. When you heat your house, what fuel do you use? Some people use natural gas, others use propane. Of course some people use...

There was rain today. Oodles and oodles of glorious rain, breaking up the monotony of all the sunshine we've recently been forced to endure. Oh, it was still a trifle muggy, but this could be forgiven when enjoying the...

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104615) • United States 22 Mar 16

Apparently it's not always a good brand. I bought a small tabletop fan that has two settings. The first few days it was cooling very well, but it stopped that this morning. This morning I heard a sort of clanging sound as if the...

Beating the heat.

TLChimes @TLChimes (4822) • United States 19 Aug 15

What do you do to stay cool when the heat is raging and the air is heavy? We have no air conditioning, a house with windows that don't open, and a child that just can't deal with the heat because of his medical needs. We...
