How to cool down during a power outage?

In daily life, power outages are a problem that many people will easily encounter, especially in summer. Power outages in summer will not only affect the normal use of air conditioners and electric fans, but will also easily cause the indoor temperature to rise, which can easily affect people's normal rest. There are many ways to cool down the room after a power outage. You can pour water on the indoor floor to cool down, or you can open windows for ventilation.

1. Open and close doors and windows reasonably. Many people think that they need to open doors and windows wide to keep cool in the hot summer, but this is not true. During the day, the outdoor temperature is high, the doors and windows are wide open, and the sunlight and heat radiation accompanied by gusts of hot air rush into the room, making the indoor and outdoor

It's generally hot. If you open the doors and windows for ventilation in the morning and evening when it is cool, let the air circulate, and close the doors and windows during the day, especially at noon, to isolate the invasion of hot air from outside, and draw light-colored curtains to block the sunlight and reflect the

Heat radiation can make the room cooler. Through actual observation, the author lives in Chengdu. Although the outdoor temperature reaches over 30 degrees in the afternoon, the indoor temperature can still be maintained at around 28 degrees by using the above method.

2. Balcony greening and courtyard greening. Greening the balcony courtyard and planting trees and flowers not only has high ornamental value, but also has the function of regulating the microclimate, making the air fresh, cool and pleasant. Because green plants can provide shade,

The cooling effect is achieved through the evaporation of water from the leaves. Data shows that planting grapes, morning glories, creepers and some flowers and plants on the courtyard balcony can reduce the temperature of the attached wall by 5℃ to 14℃ and the indoor temperature by 2℃ to 4℃.

The good thing about toilet water is that if there is a power outage, please stretch your neck, take out the toilet water and spray it lightly upwards. You will immediately feel refreshed, cool and comfortable, and you will have the illusion that there is no power outage.

Falling asleep with a winter melon

"Winter melon peel is cool in nature and has the effect of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. Ye Tianshi, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, recorded in his book "Bencao Zaixin" that winter melon peel has the effects of 'going to the skin, removing dampness and chasing away wind, nourishing the spleen and purging fire'." Director Xia said that the reason why winter melon is called "winter melon" is because there is a layer of white powdery substance on its skin, which looks like white frost in winter, hence the name, but literally, it also implies a cool feeling throughout the body.

Although the winter melon method of cooling down is simple and practical, it is not suitable for everyone. Deputy Chief Chinese Medicine Practitioner Xia Gongxu specially reminds that if you have a hot constitution, there is no problem in cooling down in this way. However, if you have a cold constitution, such as yang deficiency, spleen and stomach deficiency, pregnant women and the elderly, it is best not to use this method to cool down, so as not to be hurt by the cold air of the winter melon peel.
