Blowtorch, hairdryer, both are rather good descriptions of it...

I practised pouring water on my head from a bottle of water (which I also drank from). The trouble was that once the bottle was half-full, it heated up rather quickly, and even the evaporation cooling wasn't much.

On hot days in Ohio, I put my second water bottle in the freezer at the end of lunch, so at the end of the day for the ride home, its frozen. By the time the ice in my main water bottle has melted and the water started warming up, the frozen water bottle has lovely ice cold water in it.

Of course, this isn't 42C ... hot days this summer have topped out around 35C (much hotter, of course, inside the truck for the unloaders on the box line), but the humidity is certainly well over the 5% mark ... when I'm beginning to sweat at 0530 and the mists in the pre-dawn light show that its near 100% humidity, I know its going to be a fun day in the warehouse.
