  "textContent": "During hot summer weather, an ordinary fan can become an effective alternative to air conditioning. While many people think of it as a simple device that only circulates warm air, the right setup can dramatically improve comfort indoors. Understanding how airflow works, where to position the fan, and how to enhance its cooling effect can make even extreme heat much more bearable.\nWhy a Fan Makes You Feel Cooler\n\nA fan does not lower the actual air temperature. Instead, it creates airflow that accelerates the evaporation of sweat from the skin, allowing the body to release heat more efficiently. As a result, the perceived temperature can feel 5 to 7 degrees lower.\n\"A fan running in an empty room wastes electricity without providing any cooling benefit. The cooling effect only occurs when moving air comes into contact with a person. If you're leaving the room, switch the fan off,\" housing maintenance specialist Ilya Kondratyev explained in an interview with Pravda.Ru.",
