Looking for a way for keeping cool without an air conditioner? Put a large bowl of ice cubes in front of a fan. Turn on the fan. The ice will cool the air from the fan and quickly cool you off. Replace ice cubes as needed.

I remember hearing this tip from relatives who lived before everyone had air conditioning. It really works too!
Instead of ice cubes, which melt faster, you could freeze water in a larger container to make an ice block.
It is actually the evaporating water that is making you cooler. As it evaporates it cools off, like waving a cloth in the air and then placing it on your forehead, or neck.
