Its very hot in my room how can i reduce the heat...?

Try filling up a packet with ice. I'm from the philippines too and that's what i do to remedy the heat we're experiencing here, pre.

ok I have some small tips that could help, but you might have already done them. First you want air flow in your room, so don't block windows or doors. But you do want to dim the sun's light. I'll get to that in a sec. You have a fan, that's good, but you're probably not using it right. I'm guessing you just have it blowing around the room. You need to have it blowing out the window. If its blowing around the room, its just spreading hot air. The front of the fan is blowing, the back of the fan is sucking (like a vacuum). So instead of blowing the hot air around your room, you want to suck the hot air out of your room. If its a box fan just place it your window, if its a stand up fan get it as close to your window as possible. Face it towards the window, so its blowing the hot air back. Now to block the suns light, you can use blinds to do that. Close them. Your still going to get air flow, but its going to block some of the light, and give your room some shade. If possible tint your window. I'm guessing that since you are in the phil you have the kind of window that is separated glass, that can be folded up or down. Glass can magnify the sun's heat. Get the glass open so that the sun's light will be directed away from your window. You can also help yourself by building a sunshade over your window. Just get some coat hangers, or something to make a frame, cover it in plastic (you can use grocery bags), cover it, and fasten it to the top of your window. That's just to give you some shade. Keep your door open for airflow.

Just buy an block of ice and place it in front of the electric fan and turn on the electric fan, it is like you have an airconditioner inside your room. Even it looks funny we really did this one time something in April. Our family can't stand the heat even at night. When we did that we had a comfortable sleep and it is really cold. Note: block of ice is expensive

You have a fan already, if your fund permits, try to buy a desert cooler, another thing you can try hang a thick cotton curtain, keep it wet, the incoming air may cool your room.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Prof

Open the windows? I'm from the Philippines too and the heat can really toast you, thanks the rain we can sleep soundly at night. Try to improve the ventilation of your room. Reduce the heat by opening the windows, this will make the air circulate in your room.

You might want to put some potted plants in your room. They'll help "cool" your room a bit.

I am from the Philippines as well and the heat's been making me uncomfortable. to lessen the heat a bit, i open the windows to let the air from outside come in. then i try to drink plenty of cold water and shower at least thrice a day. we are planning to purchase an aircondtioning system next month... hopefully, it pushes through...

are the windows open? even with electric fans windows should be open. am in batangas and it is terribly hot here with all the beaches around. at least two windows open. air has somewhere to come in and out to. a top window and a window on a lower level should be open as they say the hotter air is always up and the cooler air is always in the lower level of the room. showering twice a day would help. one cannot sleep at night, at least in my experience, if there is no shower before sleeping. also, wear comfy cotton clothes. sleeveles ones at that in the home.

Are you keeping your curtains closed? This will prevent the sun from shining in and making it hotter. Also drink plenty of drinks to keep you hydrated and that may keep you feeling cooler. Maybe ceiling fans would work but I don't know how much they are in your country. Here in the US the cheapest is about 30.00 dollars. Also if you keep a cool washcloth around your neck that will help you keep cool too. Good luck and hope these ideals help you.

I grew up with no AC. In the southern summer heat I would put one of the big square box fans in the window to suck in air from outside and blow though my room. Leaving all doors and windows open helps air circulation. Also, try keeping a damp washcloth nearby and occasionally rub it over the back of your neck, behind your ears and on your wrisits. Cooling off the pulse points can sometimes help the whole body feel cooler. Drink as much water as you can, and stay away from caffinated drinks. Sweat is the bodys natural way of trying to cool itself, and the more you drink the better you can sweat.

Look into getting a wal-mount ac unit or something. Those can be a bit pricy and in the long run well worth the investment. Use that fan, drink ice water, wear as little or as light of clothing as possible. And, most important keep hydraded.

open our windows so air can come inside your room. put curtains so the sunshine won't get inside.

I would say try not to use lights as much as possible. Lights give off heat and therefore making the temperature go higher.

Hello my fellow Filipino! The heat is really killing me. Aside from drinking plenty of water, I am taking a bath 3-4 times a day. Our living room is more comfortable than in my room. So I prefer staying downstairs. And, I suggest you wear light colored shirts. I just pray the rain continues to pour.

Without air conditioning you can do very little to reduce the temperature of the air inside the house to below what it is outside but if your walls are thick or well insulated you should certainly stop the sunlight coming in your windows. Curtains are only partly effective because they are inside the room and any sunlight hitting them will warm them and so warm the air around them. Aluminium foil (or aluminised fabrics) will reflect the sunlight rather than absorbing it, so you could purchase a roll of kitchen foil and tape it to parts (or all) of your window to stop the sunlight from getting in. This will stop some of the sunlight from heating up your room. Moving air (with a fan or by opening doors and windows) can make the environment seem cooler provided the humidity is low. If the air already contains nearly the maximun moisture it can hold, there is nothing that can be done but if the humidity is, say, 60% or lower, then a movement of air will cool your body because the evaporating sweat will take heat away and you will feel cooler. Evaporation requires energy and, for example, keeping things in a porous (unglazed) pottery jar which is kept damp is a well known way of keeping things cool (usually it is dairy products like milk, butter and cheese that one keeps in this way but the principle applies to everything).
