I live in the UK, but our summers are getting hotter, and I’m struggling with profuse sweating and mild dehydration.

If you are or were a student in Australia, Mexico, southern USA, Spain, Portugal, Greece, South Africa, or any other hot parts of the world, how do/did you stay cool during the day?

Note: I am familiar with the idea of a siesta; this is not an option.

If the solution is clothing, I don’t really care about gendered clothing. If it fits and looks good, it’s fine.

Thanks!

EDIT: For context, I am a student who is specifically having trouble during the school day, so AC systems and curtains aren’t viable either. It’s really clothing and strategy that I need to think about.

    Sweat is kind of unavoidable (especially where I live where it gets very humid). Cold beverages (drink plenty of water), shade, jump in a pool (not an option for everyone, sometimes ill just splash cold water on my face), AC is wonderful (also not an option for everyone), or at least turn on some fans and get some airflow on you.
