I have a desert cooler that runs probably > 8hrs a day. I live in an area that's relatively not humid. My family is kinda lucky that we have a lawn surrounding the house and that's full of trees, so that cools the house a bunch as well.

Sometimes we do hang a bunch of palm mats on the windows and spray it with water, for evaporat-ive cooling.

Other than this, we also have lots of juices during the summer, and have diluted buttermilk to drink!

Most of us wear clothes that are loose around the groin and areas where sweat production/accumulation occurs the most.
