36 degrees and it will get even hotter, but the MeinMMO editorial team rushes in with 19 tips for rescue

Those in the home office can do it like our editor-in-chief Lydia: She doesn’t want to sit all day with closed windows, which is a proven method to keep the heat outside. However, to ensure that the fresh air does not bring the heat of Arakis inside, she hangs wet bed sheets in front of her windows. This noticeably cools down the wind.

MeinMMO editor-in-chief Leya, on the other hand, keeps it very analog. She fills her hot water bottle with cold water and ice cubes – a cold bottle, therefore. This is wrapped in a cloth and placed on her thighs.

If you don’t have a hot water bottle, you can simply wet towels or cloths and apply them to your thighs or even to your neck. Our social video producer Anna has also reported success here.

Two colleagues have had very good experiences with cold foot baths: Fill a medium to large bowl with water (leave space at the top so your feet still fit in) and cool your feet while working.

There are cooling gels that cool the body parts on which they are applied. According to a colleague, this is especially effective on the feet.

Also, make sure to consume your drinks warmer: Cold water from the fridge makes your body start working and generates heat itself. You can read more about this here:

Why you should reach for tea instead of ice-cold water in heat

Another colleague has had very good experiences with washing his forearms regularly with cold water.

Basically, he has also had good experiences with a special ventilation technique. One colleague ventilates not only in the evening or morning but also during the day. It is important, however, that only the windows that are not on the sunny side of the apartment are opened. For him, warm air that is stagnant is worse than warm but fresh air.

Some colleagues belong to the “endure” faction. One of them jokingly suggested that you could shave your head. He recommends the Kensen Series 15, which he also uses himself.

Air conditioning is, of course, the ultimate solution. But not everyone is lucky enough to have one installed in their apartment. One colleague invested in the mobile Bauknecht PACW29CO and says: Best investment ever for home office.

Tech colleague Jan recently also enjoyed a 900-euro purchase and doesn’t want to go without it: So I don’t become a roast chicken while gaming, I invested 900 € in an upgrade for my room

MeinMMO Tech King Benedikt recently presented his absolute life hack for a cool apartment in summer. And it is NOT air conditioning – it’s special pleated blinds!

Of course, the editorial team has also brought fans into play. There are portable ones for on the go, but one of our authors recently bought a large stand fan, the PHILIPS CX5535/11 tower fan in dark gray, which now continuously blows air to him.

He says the tower pleasantly blows air through his room, you can set a timer, and at the lowest level, it is almost silent. Thus, the fan doesn’t disturb when it sits next to the bed. And because it is so light, Max can easily carry the tower around the apartment.

MeinMMO author Cedric, on the other hand, swears by smart devices. Consequently, he also got himself a smart stand fan: the Smartmi Fan 3. The nature mode is especially pleasant because you’re not sitting in full breeze.

Just a few days ago, a refreshment spray saved one of our colleagues from overheating. For him, the Balea water spray coconut & pineapple from DM is an absolute game changer.

Dogs and children should never, ever be left alone in a car – especially not at such high temperatures!

Wet towels help tremendously with cooling – whether as a surface for the panting four-legged friend to sit on or thrown over the dog.

Especially now, at such high temperatures, the dog always needs fresh and abundantly available water.

My dog avoids it, but that doesn’t have to apply to everyone: cooling mats are a great place to lie down and do exactly what the name says – cool down.

Similar to the cooling mat, stone bathroom tiles usually stay cool even in summer. Here, the dog can also find refuge from the heat.

Pack a good water bottle with you, with which you always have enough liquid for your furry friend. I love our bottle from Vsshe because it has much more volume than conventional on-the-go bottles. Thanks to a clever combo with the folding leaf that becomes the drinking vessel, unused water is not wasted: it flows back into the bottle.
