Then go round to the opposite door and rapidly open and close it a good few times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This simple action pushes stagnant hot air out of the car and creates a pleasant breeze, making it much more bearable to sit in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5) Bring a Spray Bottle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded is-style-rounded--2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skyparksecure.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/brett-jordan-mPkTQZq9Ork-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"A small spray bottle\" class=\"wp-image-23986\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@brett_jordan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brett Jordan<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/clear-and-white-spray-bottle-mPkTQZq9Ork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Have yourself equipped with a handy spray bottle filled with water, and just before you get in your car, spray it over everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The seats, the steering wheel, the dashboard, the gear stick, the handbrake. Whatever&#8217;s likely to get a bit too hot when you touch it, coat it in a layer of spray to cool it down, knowing that it&#8217;ll evaporate in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when you&#8217;re driving and you&#8217;re still getting too hot, you can spray it on yourself as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4) Homemade Ice Packs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another cheap and easy method to cool your car down is to freeze a few water bottles and bring them into the car as ice packs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can rest these ice packs between your neck and the back of the chair, apply them to your wrists for a quick burst of coolness, or behind your knees (but only if you&#8217;re not driving!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the best thing is that even after they melt you&#8217;ll have ice-cold water to keep you hydrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3) Drive With Wet Hair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No, really!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know your mum always used to say you&#8217;d catch a cold if you didn&#8217;t dry your hair properly, but that doesn&#8217;t seem too unappealing at this time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seriously though, the wet hair will keep your head cooled down, and the heat will mean that it&#8217;ll dry off in no time anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2) Know When to Open Your Windows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The golden rule is to either open the windows OR turn on the air, but never both as it&#8217;s just a waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re travelling at low speeds, such as pottering around town, you&#8217;ll get the most benefit from opening the windows, as there&#8217;s nothing better than proper fresh air blowing past your face in the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However once you get onto the motorway, it&#8217;s time to wind those windows up and get the air blowing. Not only will open windows cause a real racket, but you&#8217;ll also end up using up to 20% more fuel since all that wind coming into the car is actually making you less aerodynamic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1) Turbo Charge That Air Vent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded is-style-rounded--3\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skyparksecure.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/olav-tvedt-JJBxXvgnh5s-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Car air vents\" class=\"wp-image-23987\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@olav_tvedt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Olav Tvedt<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/silver-and-black-car-air-vent-JJBxXvgnh5s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are bombing it down the motorway and your air vent isn&#8217;t quite cutting it, prepare to have your mind blown!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hang a wet flannel over the air vent to cool down the air that&#8217;s blowing around your car. Even if the air that&#8217;s blowing isn&#8217;t that cold, a damp flannel will bring down the temperature massively, levelling up your air vent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, have several cloths on standby as they&#8217;ll dry out pretty quickly. And don&#8217;t forget to take them out and wash them after your trip!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those were our 8 favourite ways to stay cool in the car. Have you tried any of them before?
