In France they put something called Blanc de Meudon on windows which I’ve heard is good too. Will be trying it next time. It’s basically powdered chalk mixed with water.
Wow, I might try this next time. It washes of in rain though, right? I’ve seen people tape thermal blankets (aluminum on plastic foil) to their Windows.
You can also use yoghurt - exactly the same principle, it’s basically “casein paint”. Hanging blankets on the outside of the window also cuts heat transfer through the window by ~90%.
Keep doors and windows closed, darken the rooms with closed curtains. Fans. Wet towel around neck. Cold water.
If I really want to cool down quickly I run my forearm under the tap.
Thank you
