Cars without air conditioning can be a nightmare for someone especially in hot weather, especially when stuck in heavy traffic.

While there's no quick fix to beat the heat, these Wikihow tips can help you get to your destination cooler and drier.

1. Hang a wet cloth over the central air vent. The air blowing through the cloth will be cooler than normal. Have several other cloths ready to replace the first one when it dries out. This task should be done by a passenger in the car.

2. Driving barefoot (illegible in some places). It may be harder to accelerate and brake, but your body radiates a lot of heat through your feet, so going barefoot (or at least wearing thin-soled sandals) will help you stay cooler.

3. Keep your hair wet while driving. The moisture from your wet hair and scalp will keep you cooler by helping to reduce body heat.

4. Leave ice in the car. About 10 pounds of ice cubes on the floor of the car on the side of the wind will help cool the air. This method was commonly used by Arizona residents in the 1940s and 1950s. To avoid water dripping into the car, place the ice in a plastic tray or baking tray. Also, open the windows slightly to allow air circulation.

5. Use a frozen water bottle as an ice pack. Wrap the bottle in a towel and place it behind your neck. As the ice melts, drinking the cold water will help you feel cooler.

6. Plan your rides for cooler times of day. Early morning is often the coolest, and if this isn't an option, plan to get as much done as possible before the hottest part of the day. Avoid driving in the early afternoon when the heat is at its worst.
