What is the best way to cool off during the summer?

I'll admit I am boring. Just give me a nice air conditioner and let me pitch in on destroying the planet.

A shower.

I voted for the AC option but in England practically all homes don't have AC. The best way for me to cool off during summer is to just not go outside.

And moan. Moaning helps.

You do LOVE to moan about the heat.

Fortunately for you, I find it endearing, rather than annoying. :p

Where's the option for hiding inside, drawing the curtains and quietly cursing that the outside world exists?

I find it difficult to answer this question since heat rarely happens in Scotland. If I am abroad and need to cool down (shockingly, the only time that I experience such warmth that I need to try to cool down) - a nice swim in the local pool and an ice cold glass of beverage.

Ice cream, it's always time for Ice Cream.

Iiiiiiice cream! Also, just went to the pool for the first time in well over a decade and I enjoyed it greatly, except for the bratty kids.

Staying inside with the AC on, although water balloon fights are pretty awesome.

I go to the river with a six pack of umm... Soda;) and float down it for a few miles with friends. Jumping in if you get to hot, so I voted swimming outside.

AC always, but that's because I've had one too many brushes with heatstroke to feel comfortable staying outside for long periods of time. Why does Canada have deserts anyway? And why do I live in one?

I say ice cream, but Scotland and heat are usually mutually exclusive, as Shauna already said XD

Seal the doors, close the curtains and crank up the heat pump on its coldest setting. On the hottest summer days, the outside world can get stuffed,

Now that its mid-winter in these parts, the procedure is much the same, except with the heat pump dispensing heat for a change.
