Don’t have air conditioning in your car? You’ll survive the heat in your car with these tips

Time of day

Not everyone has the luxury of being able to plan when they go for a drive. For example, if you have to drive to work, you have to drive to work. Yet, if at all possible, if would be smart to avoid having to drive during the hottest times of day (between 12 pm and 4 pm). Leave early in the morning and only go out to drive again when it has sufficiently cooled down outside, at around 5 pm. The worst heat is over at that point, and you’ll be able to drive home feeling much more relaxed and cool. Also try to park your car in a spot with enough shade. That way, you won’t step into a car that feels like a veritable sauna.

Sunscreen

Don’t have a choice and have to park your car in the blazing sun? Use a sunscreen. You can also cover the windows and sides with sunscreens. This will make quite a bit of difference when you get back into your car.

Car fan

The best solution and the one that works quickest is buying a car fan. They’re not that expensive and you’ll get a lot of enjoyment out of them in your scorching hot car. They’ll immediately provide you with cooling air, they’re easy to attach and you can plug them into the cigarette lighter. That way, you can use your car during a heat wave without a problem!
