In summer, keeping your car cool during extreme temperatures is quite difficult. If you don't park it in underground or find a place in the shade, the interior of your car will turn into a real sauna.

However, for those who park their cars under the sun, there is a "Japanese method" that can quickly reduce the temperature in the car in less than a minute. This life hack was reported by Sante magazine.

The trick is to lower one of the windows and forcefully "ventilate" the cabin by opening the opposite door. This creates a draft and therefore slightly reduces the temperature in the cabin, as the air inside is recirculated.

There is another option for owners of air-conditioned cars: direct the flow of cold air to the roof of the car. Since cold air is denser than warm air, it will spread more easily through the cabin and the car will cool faster. After that, you can reduce the temperature even further by recirculating the air, but not for too long, as this can cause drowsiness while driving.

Experts advise drivers who leave their cars in the sun to cover the windshield with a light-colored cloth or put a special silver protective barrier under the glass to reflect the sun's rays.
