Yep! I have a huge box fan in my window. at night, it cools my room down pretty well, but until 9 PM (on good days), it stays about 85-100 degrees F in my room, and it’s also incredibly humid. The rest of my house isn’t air conditioned either. I have terrible heat-tolerance, but I’d trungle on through if it weren’t for my asthma and my cat’s asthma. She’s staying with my mom until I can get an AC unit, but I myself have been spending every day in the library after work until it’s cool enough to go home and to bed. And on hotter more humid nights, the fan does nothing. It’s miserable el oh el !!!
This isn’t a permanent solution, but just for now, I’ve found it can help to hang a wet cloth in front of the fan so it cools down the air! Also, keeping a small spray bottle near me and spritzing myself when I get hot and then regularly refilling it with cold faucet water is good!
One thing I do on warm nights is I take a cold shower immediately before bed and I don’t dry my hair. I’ve found that cools me off quite a bit. If you’re fine with wet hair I’d recommend that.
