Take a cold shower before bed. Added cooling: Go to bed with wet hair. (This risks bed head, but hey - it's a look.)
Put the oven off limits until fall. Use the microwave. Grill everything you can outdoors, even veggies.
Eat light. Salads. Fruits. More salads.
Drink lots of liquids.
Be aware that caffeine or alcohol can increase blood flow to the skin, raising the risk of dehydration.
Put a bowl of ice or a freeze pack in front of your fan to give it a blast of coolness.
