    • Abstract:
      Try Low-Tech Cooling Tactics FLIP A FAN ON Ceiling, portable, and window fans stir up breezes that speed sweat evaporation, which will help you feel cooler. Excessive heat warning* Extremely dangerous heat conditions: A maximum heat index temperature of 105° F or more for at least two days, with nighttime temps 75° F or higher expected within 12 hours. Heat advisory* A maximum heat index temperature of 100° F or more, with nighttime temperatures of 75° F or higher, is expected within 12 hours and to last at least two days. Comfort reflects how quickly an air conditioner on its high-fan setting cools a room sized for the particular unit and how accurate it comes to meeting a temperature set point.
