1. In Thailand, they escape from the heat like this: they wear trousers, drink a lot of water and use crystals, which they rub like deodorant. They say it helps.

2. Residents of South Africa, where the average temperature is 40 degrees, hide in the shade, use sunscreen, work at night and sleep during the day. Everything is simple. (Photo by Ilya Varlamov)

3. In New Guinea, there is an unusual know-how at all: local men have the only "clothes" — a pumpkin tube, which they put on their manhood and tie a thread to their belt so that it always looks up at an angle of 45 degrees.

4. In Central Asia, they are saved by hot tea. It really helps.

5. Sri Lankans find salvation in nutrition: in the dry season — more cooling products (watermelon, potatoes, zucchini, for example), in the rainy season — warming (curry rice is a favorite).

6. In Vietnam, fans with special water sprayers are installed on street terraces. What can we say about air conditioners and fans. By the way, Moscow has already adopted this experience.

8. And in Israel, annual "Water wars" have been taking place for 10 years, the weapons of which are all water "tools" — pistols, bottles, buckets.
