It seems moving air has a cooling effect even if it's hot moving air. Just look at the number of people fanning themselves with anything to hand in hot weather even in the UK.
Try fanning yourself in cold weather you won't do it for long. Also in cold weather if it's windy the wind chill factor makes it even colder than if their was no wind.
Agree Air con is best but expensive and fans cost $50 or less, you pay your money and take your pick.

The fan's action increases convective heat loss by making it easier for the air to evaporate sweat from your skin (which is how we eliminate body heat). The more evaporation, the cooler we feel. :lecture:

Air-Con is worth every cent in Australia and adds value to a home.
