If in the subway, marshrutka or tram-trolleybus, more or less freely, try to take the coolest place it can be from the other side of the cabin, where while driving on the route will be less likely to get sun from the Windows.
Metro cooler just at the end of the car, and not at the beginning, and in minibuses and trolley-buses, on the contrary — the most stuffy places are located in the back center, there is circulation of air hardly occurs even if the Windows are open.
In the bus, and the gortransporta cooler just for the seats located under the roof, and following them closer to the aisle.

The HOUSE: the draught, foil and wet the sheets
If there is no air conditioning in the evening make a draught by opening all the Windows. They can be not close all night, taking measures against mosquitoes.

Pour into a tub of cold water and open the door from the bathroom. Heated the water a bit will reduce the temperature in the room. Bath water can be used for a cooling swim.
Often drink chilled, not colder than 20 degrees, the water. Not ice — the risk of catching a chill, throat.
Less use of electricity and gas stove.
STREET: ice bag, cotton and linen on the body, metro, hat and toilet
Wear natural fabrics (cotton, linen), bright colors, no synthetics. And not warmed “just in case”: for example, shorts or breeches are better than pants, t-shirt or blouse with short sleeve shirts instead. If you are afraid of sudden cooling during a thunderstorm or in the evening — bring a light jacket.
Mandatory headgear: easy hat, cap, Panama. In extreme cases, sun umbrella. They are useful even if you are in the sun for a few minutes.
Leaving the house, take a cool shower, including the head (for those who have braids or complicated hairstyle, just wet the temples, forehead and nape).
Carry a bottle (0.5 l) of cold or frozen water: it will be useful not only for drinking but also for cooling the head, neck, back of the head. If too lazy to carry a bottle, don’t hesitate to use sinks in public places (for example in catering establishments to regularly freshen water face (with no makeup), wet head and hands.
Try to walk on the shady side of the street, even if it will lengthen your route. In cities where there are underground, your route should be planned so that it at least partially passed through the metro: there are 10-12 degrees cooler than on the street: it is possible to cool and at the same time accumulate a “reserve of cold” before the next access to the sun.
