I spent several years rebuilding a property in the Mojave desert, never had AC.

If you don't sweat / get dehydrated, the fanned hot air is just a blast furnace and instead of feeling relief you can tell it's making things worse.

But if I were elderly and that somehow affected my ability to perspire correctly even if hydrated, I'd just use a misting bottle to spray myself or repeatedly enter a cold shower.

It's obviously more effective in lower humidity ambient conditions, but the body must have moisture at the surface to carry the heat away evaporating in the wind.

I can feel this article. It reminds me of a couple times riding my motorcycle in the desert in the summer. The air HURTS. Like sitting in front of a blow dryer or an oven.
