Drink lots of water. Put cold wet towels on your neck. If you stay wet and keep the air moving around you (such as from a fan) it will keep you surprising cool.
I've actually played golf for 12 hours in similar conditions to what you're describing (I did not walk the course, though!). That's hot, but if the dew point is low (<60) it should not be that bad.
Eat bananas and something a little bit salty to replace your electrolytes when you sweat. Otherwise, stay in the shade. In the morning when it's not too hot, erect big shades outside over the windows to prevent the heat that can radiate through glass.
If you are worried about your water, maybe boil it and let it cool off before drinking any more.
Here’s some tips for staying cool:
? Keep the curtains/blinds closed to keep the sun out, but open the windows to let the air in.
? Sit in the breeze (by an open door or window), where possible face into the breeze, leave windows open at night.
? Avoid anything strenuous
? Wear loose fitting, light coloured clothes
? Drink plenty of fluids (contrary to popular belief it doesn’t have to be water)
? Eat light foods, avoid starchy foods, ones high in carbohydrates and fats. East little but often rather than big heavy meals. Eat lots of mint.
? Freeze things like melon and pineapple, eat ice-cream.
? Eat spicy foods (it seems odd but it increases perspiration and cools you down, it’s no coincidence that spicy foods are widely eaten in hot countries)
? Avoid using anti-perspirants (they block up the pores of your skin and prevent sweating - which is your body’s natural way of cooling you down). Most deodorants are fine.
? Take regular cool baths or showers. The water should be cool but not uncomfortable.
? Stay downstairs, hot air rises so it will be cooler downstairs. Cooler still in the basement if you have one.
? Turn off anything that’s generating heat that’s not in use, computers are a prime example.
? Run cold water over your wrists every so often, put your feet in cool water.
? BEST OF ALL: If it’s practical then wear wet clothes, as the clothes dry out they will draw a lot of heat from your body. Alternatively wear a wet bandana or cap or cover exposed skin with a wet towel. You can spray yourself with an atomiser (the thing you spray plants with).
