In North India, the heat has now started showing its true form and the condition of the people is becoming miserable. According to the Meteorological Department, the temperature may cross 42 degrees Celsius in the coming days, due to which the situation may become more difficult. Due to strong sunlight and hot winds, it has become difficult to get relief during the day as well as at night.

When the temperature goes above 40 degrees, it is not easy to get relief from the heat even inside the house. In such situations, many people use air conditioner (AC), but this is not possible for everyone. This is the reason why most people depend on coolers, because it is a cheap and common option.

Not getting coolness from the cooler?

In extreme heat, sometimes even the cooler is not able to provide cool air as expected. This causes problems to people and makes it difficult to sleep well at night. However, by adopting some easy and home remedies, the cooling of the cooler can be improved, that too without spending much.

Easy way to make ice and salt

Use of ice and salt is an effective solution to make the air in the cooler colder. For this, put ice cubes in cooler water and add 3-4 handfuls of salt along with it. Due to salt, ice melts slowly, due to which the water remains cold for a long time. This cold water passes through the cooling pads and makes the air cooler.

Take care of cross ventilation

Often people close the room completely while running the cooler, which is not the right way. This increases the humidity in the room and makes one feel less cold. It would be better to keep the window or door on the other side of the cooler window slightly open. Due to this, hot air comes out and cold air spreads well in the room.

Cleaning of cooling pads is necessary

For proper cooling of the cooler, it is important for its cooling pads to be clean and in good condition. If the pads become dirty or old, they cannot absorb water properly and the cooling effect is reduced. Therefore, clean them from time to time or replace them if necessary. Coolness can also be increased by applying slightly wet cloth or jute on the pads.

place the cooler in the right place

Always keep the cooler at a place where there is no direct sunlight. If the cooler is kept in the sun, its water will heat up quickly and less cold air will be available. Therefore, it is more beneficial to keep it in shade.
