I am from Eastern Europe and this is the hottest summer on my memory. For at least 3 consecutive years the heat is breaking all records.

This stuff is unbearable, I can't even play video games on my laptop, because it warms up very fast and the keyboard becomes uncomfortable for me to use.

So, could you please share any useful tips on how do you survive the summer?

They're highly unlikely to have a ceiling fan. Viscose is also much cooler than cotton.

While viscose dries faster than cotton, cotton is a breathable fabric and lets you sweat, which cools you down. - Indian here, so have some experience living with hot weather.

Loose, long-sleeved cotton clothes will prevent sunburn + cool you down.

Yeah, ceiling fans are a very rare thing in Eastern Europe. I haven't ever seen one with my own eyes and I have been to all kinds of places in my country
