Global warming is a severe problem that should not be underestimated. The Earth has experienced record-high temperatures for several years, and there is no indication that this will change.

How can you help yourself survive the heat? Not everyone can afford air conditioning. A popular TikTok user, @phantilaphat, shared ways to lower the temperature in your apartment.

How to lower the temperature in your apartment?

An air conditioner is a device that helps maintain a constant temperature in a room. Just reach for the remote control to create a pleasant coolness at home. Unfortunately, it's quite an expense, as the average air conditioner costs from $165 to even $940. What's worse, it consumes a lot of electricity, which generates huge costs given today's energy prices.

The TikToker @phantilaphat proved that you don't have to spend a fortune to lower the temperature in your apartment. She advised investing in light-absorbing blinds or shades. You can buy them in most home furnishing stores for between $16 and $35 a set. If possible, place them in every room in the house. These curtains will block the sun's rays, so the apartment won't have a chance to heat up.

Place near a fan. The room will immediately become cooler

An air conditioner is a major expense, but fans are much cheaper. Depending on their functions and size, these devices cost between $24 and $120. TikTok showed a hack using a fan that instantly lowers the room's temperature. Place a chilled bottle before it or hang a frozen towel on it. Once you turn on the fan, a pleasant coolness will prevail in the room.

Finally, she shared one last trick worth using before going to bed. Open the windows wide when the sun has set and the outside temperature is significantly lower. Place a fan near them and then turn the device on. This simple method will ventilate and cool the room, making it much easier to fall asleep.
