If you have no air conditioning you could buy an expensive personal “cooling vest”

Google: cooling vest

Or you could DIY with things you might already have around the house.

I wear crop tops and skirts to stay cool.
I have a window A/C but haven't needed it in years.

I did some work up in the attic yesterday. That was really hot!
