In the 1970s and 1980s, there were no air conditioners and fans in rural areas. How did they spend the summer?

In the 1970s and 1980s, there were no air conditioners or fans in rural areas. Such rural people often liked to spend their summers under the shade of trees. Moreover, in the 1970s and 1980s, the weather in summer was not that hot. Now, with the sudden change in temperature, the weather in summer is extremely hot, especially when you need to take a lunch break after lunch every day. In order to alleviate the heat of summer, many farmers choose to wait until the weather gradually cools down before going out to work when farming.

For some people in rural areas and relatively remote places, because they have no money, they simply cannot afford air conditioners and fans. At that time, in order to cool down, they could only choose to take multiple baths. Many people use cold water directly when taking a bath, which will make them feel cooler. However, if you take a long bath with cold water in summer, it will easily cause physical discomfort. Therefore, this way of cooling down the heat is not the best. Children in some rural areas prefer to eat ice cream, and they can enjoy the freedom of ice cream every summer.

In rural areas, because large trees are planted everywhere, you will feel that the weather is getting cooler by seven or eight o'clock at night. In many rural areas, people still need to cover themselves with quilts when sleeping at night. This is due to the large temperature difference between day and night, and some trees are planted next to the houses where they live. When all these trees grow up, they can provide shade. If you stay under the trees for a long time, you will feel the coolness of summer. In some areas, there are ponds next to the door, and the cool breeze blows, which is relatively cool.

Today’s people’s living conditions are getting better and better. Now every household can install air conditioners, and they will turn on the air conditioners immediately when it gets hot in the summer. Even some air conditioners are used 24 hours a day, but if you often stay in the air-conditioned room, it will be difficult to adapt to the outside environment once you go out. When adjusting the temperature of the air conditioner, try to adjust the air conditioner temperature to a moderate temperature. If you want the air conditioner to achieve the most energy-saving purpose, it needs to be adjusted to about 23 degrees, which is most suitable.
