As we hit the middle of summer and the temperature continues to climb, finding ways to stay cool can be a challenge. However, there are plenty of things you can try to keep yourself from feeling too warm. And, as a bonus, some of them can be quite fun! Check out our picks below.

Cooling Towels

Perfect for days playing baseball and softball (but also for your porch too!), cooling towels are a great way to beat the heat. There are plenty of different kinds to choose from, and they’re sure to provide some relief as the sun beats down.

Summer fruits

Fruit seems to capture summer in its taste, and a cold bite can be exactly what you need on a hot day. There are so many options to choose from, and no matter if you want to go for cherries, watermelon, grapes, or anything else, something is always in season in the summertime.

Misting Fans

Whether you want to invest in a big fan for the whole porch, or just a handheld one to use while you read a book, misting fans are great at keeping you cool. Make sure to keep drinking lots of water, however. While the fans are great, they can give you an illusion of hydration, keeping you dehydrated if you forget to drink water.

Ice cream and PopSicles

After you’ve had some summer fruit, you definitely deserve something sweet. Eating a treat while you watch the sunset is an incredible way to end the day. Grab one of your favorite flavors, sit down, and enjoy!

Water and Lemonade

Like we mentioned, it can’t be overstated how important it is to stay hydrated. Water is crucial to keeping you cool. With that said, feel free to enjoy a summer staple, lemonade, every once in a while too! It’s no substitute for water, but having some after every few glasses of water tastes delicious.
