wow, the southerner's acting all superior... Hell yea, 110+ is DAMN hot. I'd melt. But I could bet you many dollars that what I'm feeling in this 30c+ weather is the same you feel in 110f+. Your all extremely used to a warmer climate, therefor your bodys adjust.
It's like you coming to my climate for the winter and me pointing a finger and smirking at you all when you are bundled up, complaining, in -25C and it has hardly no effect on myself. Seriously though, there is no need for a jacket in anything below -7C.

A big ass block of ice behind the fan.. Stick it in a tub so the water captures as it melts..
When I was younger and living in Ca. we had no AC..So I would take a king size sheet and tuck it in 3 sides of the bed.. two sides and at the head of the bed.. Then take a Box Fan and stick it at the foot of the bed with the sheet over the fan.. Turn the fan on high and it will blow the sheet up like a wind tent.. Good way to keep cool in the Summer time wilt a lac of AC... I now live in Houston and ya we got AC.. But the 350 a month power bill blows out the ass!

anyone remember the thread about how to make your own AC with a cheap battery operated fish pump, copper tube, a fan, and an ICE BUCKET/ This would be perfect. In-fact that is the perfect camping revolution, camping in the summer, with AC in a giant 10 person tent! The AC will cost you a $5 bucket of ice for all night, and you can even water the plants you have growing around your campsite.

Tough it out. I live in Alabama where its humid as fuck and hot as the devil's asshole. I don't use my AC in my car. I have leather seats. I'm still alive.
Make sure you hydrate yourself properly. Take a bottle/cup of water when driving. Try to drink the whole thing. Wear a hat if possible. Sunglasses are a must to protect your eyes(even though I don't wear them, I should). Try to avoid dark clothing like blue and black as it trasfers a lot of light energy as heat. Stay in the shade when possible outside. If you're a "fair-skinned" one just wear some sunscreen.
Stay inside often and go outside at night, especially if it isn't humid and the wind is blowing.
As far as keeping your room cold, insulation is all I can tell you. If its possible close your blinds and cover the windows. Keep the light out and the cool in. Keep the room to your door closed, a towel underneeth if you are that despirate. Try to get your sleeping area cold and keep it that way.

This is so weird, it seems to be hot all over, but its actually been pretty cool in Michigan. The days are warm, but with a nice cool breeze, and the nights are actually pretty damn cold!
