If you have a beach near you, that's one way. If you have a pool, that's another. A cold shower always works. Wear light clothing, preferably white. If they are meshy then all the better. Don't wear hats, and if you're at home, take off your shoes. Although if you're in your house, I don't see why being naked is a problem. Where I live it's usually between 95 to 105 degrees... in chrismas (summer is hotter) and everyone does thew things I listed.

Put a couple wet towels in the freezer. When frozen, wrap around your neck and keep switching them out.
Get a fan and stand in front of it w/ a spray bottle of ice water and spray the fan. The water comes back and splashes you.
Wear a tank top and shorts and flip flops. Light weight.
Good luck.
Its hot in CA too.

Open your window turn on a fan and put a bowl of ice in front of it. Where light lifght colored clothes. Towel yourself off occasionaly to cut down on the stickiness of the humidity.
I love your avatar by the way.

Get a big bucket of water with lots of ice.. Use ice to cool yourself down. Place the ice in your palms, somtimes on your wrists, behind your ears. Perhaps take a cold shower (not to cold) that should help for a while.

Go for some Ice Cream or a nice cold drink of lemonade always makes me feel better in the heat.

Put washcloth in freezer and after a while put it on back of neck. It will cool you down. It is hot here in Ohio also,but I have on air and will gladly pay the price to stay cool.

Run cold water over your wrists, this cools down your blood which then travels all around your body, I live in spain and it is 53 degrees C today on my terrace, thats what I do!
