I am exploring how people deal with heat.
Having blinders can be a life saver when it comes to heat. They shut out all of the sun light and so the developing heat stays mostly outside. Often we do not have air conditioners here. So if you somehow do not manage to shut out the sun, rooms can get really hot. It's not too uncommon to have 30 or 35°C in a room (and that is with blinders!).
Of course it doesn't make sense to stay indoors in such conditions, but unfortunately many people still have to work in rooms that are not air conditioned... So if you have the luxury of free time or do not have to work you might as well go and take a splash in the water...
