Keep a spray bottle of COLD water at hand and use it on yourself...arms, neck, face, legs. I keep my hair quite short in summer so even use the spray on my head. Wetness promotes evaporation and therefore cooling.

Finally got power just after noon today after almost 6 days without AC or water (pump for well); temps here have been over 95 every day. Many have really suffered.
