List of Fun Ways to Keep Cool from Hot Weather

With the summer months in full swing, it’s important to keep cool from the hot weather. There are many fun ways to beat the summer heat, from staying inside with a cold treat to taking a dip in a backyard pool.

Oh, the summer season, has the smile of light and the perfection of night.

Summertime Madness or Fondness?

Sure thing, you feel the obvious buzz that comes along with summer fun!

Everything just feels so alive, surfer boards on the beach, picnics in the park, and grilled barbecue ribs at the poolside — sniffing summer heaven on the horizon.

While summer outdoor charades are absolute fun, what can a poor earthling do when the heat waves come full blast? In an unbearable sort, summer days count for a feverish sleepless night, sweat sticking up to your back, hot car seats and even worse, city stink. It is bleak, to say the least.

The best solution is to turn on the AC, ice packs in hand, and a handy fan, which keeps you cool but can barely do much to get you out of indoor boredom. 

Don’t let the rising temperature stop you, here are some fun ways to keep cool from the hot weather.

7 Exciting Ways to Stay Cool for the Summer

Binge-watching at home can only do so much. We suggest not to let the shrill summer heat break you from seasonal frills. Flash your airy dresses, sunhats, and colorful flip-flops, and enjoy this summertime jollification list.

1. Try Ice Skating at SM City Iloilo

Does this seem a bit odd? If the temperature continues to rise, the skating rink melts, right?

Yes, it does —but fortunately, there are plenty of indoor skating rinks built with special cooling pipes, open all year round for this frosty activity.

Not only perfect for kids but for adults too, it keeps you active and fit even through the blazing season.  

2. Snowball Fight (using styrofoam balls!)

The mechanics for a snowball fight is pretty easy. Make a ball of snow and throw it to somebody like a game of dodgeball.

In this case though, since it’s the summer, we don’t have actual snowballs to catapult. So, we suggest using styrofoam snowballs which are soft as a feather and absolutely perfect for an indoor activity.

You can keep it physical without breaking a sweat or any glass furniture for that matter.

3. Water Balloon

Perhaps, one of the best ways to enjoy the sizzling summer is by hosting a water balloon fight in the backyard, right by the pool.

Surefire, this party idea is going to be an absolute blast, not only for kids but for adults too. Since most people already know the idea of a water balloon battle, everyone gets to join in.

It’s the perfect water splash to cool down from the scorching sun, emblazoned with laughter and fun-loving competition.

4. Indoor Obstacle Course (alternative idea is a treasure hunt!)

If you and your family and friends are desperate for some indoor agility challenge, an indoor obstacle course might just do the trick to crash the too-warm-to-go-outside streak.

You can easily set up using the couch, chairs, tape yarn and swinging objects hanging from the ceiling.

Keep your body and mind busy. Learn to improvise, transform your hallways and yards and recreate the ultimate laser maze.

6. Facial Spree

If you’re a skin-care enthusiast, you probably know that too much heat is bad for the skin. More sweat opens up pores, which then leads to acne breakouts and other skin problems.

Since you’re staying low in the house to escape the summer heat waves, take the chance to give yourself some major skin pampering.

Apply some face-mask, or make your own foot bath relaxation, for that much needed moisturization and exfoliation.

Trust us, it’s the perfect way to stay pretty and refreshed!

7. Summer Smoothies

Is there anything better on a hot day than a large icy fruit smoothie?

We think not! The taste of that sweet cool drink keeps us cool and hydrated. 

There are many ways to get creative with summer beverages. Fresh fruit, vegies, yogurt and milk. For the adults, you can add a little splash of lemon or alcohol.

The main rule is to get crafty with your healthy summer respite.

Then after, you could pretend to lounge on a luxe couch, just like a real summer vacay with your imposing summer hat, colorful sunglasses and airy floral dress, sipping your delicious summer smoothie.
