I remember one time I drove from San Diego to Salt Lake City. It was over 100 all day, but I had a 5 gallon jug of water with me, so I just spent the entire day misting myself by spraying water on my face, head, and neck - and that kept me totally cool and comfortable. And that is yet another solution which can be implemented immediately by you for less than $1, by buying a sprayer at the dollar store.

That's a great idea can take and put one in the refrigerator for ice cold water spray. Another thing is a cold shower that not only saves on hot water but will cool you down for a while special if you shower with some cotton swim trunks and t-shirt that stays wet for a while.
Also a piece of ice every once in a while put in your mouth allowed to slowly dissolve will go a long ways in your perception of being hot.
