10 Things to Do to Keep Your Car Cold in Summers
We all love summers. Getting out of the house is always a good idea, but the scorching sun and the heat waves make this otherwise beautiful season downright unpleasant.
Amongst the long list of things that get affected by the summer Sun, our beloved set of wheels is on the top of the list. Getting into a car that has been parked in the Sun can make a person feel like being roasted alive. On average, the inside temperature of a car can nearly be 20 to 30 degrees warmer than that of the air outside.
So here is a list of 10 things that will keep our cars relatively cold in summers –
1. Park in the Shade
This is the simplest thing that you could do to avoid your car turning into an oven. Whenever possible, park under a covered area, especially for the warmest part of the day.

2. Use a Sunshield or Sunshade or Window Visor
Use a sunshield or a sunshade to cover up the windows of the car. This will avoid direct sunlight to enter the car, thus making the interiors cooler. This inexpensive method is a great substitute to tint which is now illegal.

3. Use a Dash Cover
A fabric or upholstered dash cover goes a long way in making the interior cooler. Dash covers protect the sensitive vinyl surface from sun damage that can cause cracking and fading. Image Courtesy
4. Covering the Steering Wheel
Covering the steering wheel with a towel or thick cloth or with thick cover will prevent the wheel from getting hot by the Sun. Image Courtesy
5. Park in a Garage or a Basement

6. Create Some Air Ventilation
Keeping the windows of the car slightly rolled down will ensure air circulation. This will create cross-ventilation through the car, expelling hot air and keeping it cool.
7. Invest in a Cooling Seat Cover/ Cushion
Cooling seat cover or cushion forms a barrier of cooling gel layer between a person and the car seat. Available in varieties of gel or crystal-infused, cooling seat covers are a great option to avoid hot seats. Image Courtesy
8. Purchase a Solar-Powered Ventilation Fan

Its solar panel uses sunlight to power the built-in fan. Place the fan vent on the edge of the window, then close the window and lock up. These fans expel hot air and other odours from the car by creating constant air circulation, thus lowering the overall temperature.
9. Throw Blankets Over the Car Seats
To keep the car seats cool, throwing blankets over them might help. This will avoid direct sunlight hitting the car seats and making them warm. Image Courtesy
10. Leave the Doors Open Before Getting in
When everything else fails, there is always an option to use the air conditioning of the car. Before jumping in the hot car, just switch on the AC and leave the doors open for a few minutes. This will help the hot air exit faster. Image Courtesy
