Sweating in the uk

is a thing now.
It is we don't have vents! we do have radiators though
Thats why i love my
ventilator with watercooling. The important element is the water cooling. IT is simple and cheap to lower the temperature of the water, by cooling the water down by several degrees. That lowers the room temperature by a few degrees and is a rather affordable and easy to do method to cool down your working/sleeping room in combination with the fridge you aleady own.

That's a good system, I haven't heard of water cooling in homes before. Air conditioning isn't really a thing in the UK too (apart from shops and offices) because our climiate is generally cold (so we have radiators) this is why when we do have heat waves we're totally not prepared for it.

You guys need to be extremely aware that Evaporative coolers can make your comfort much worse. You are dumping all that moisture into the air, so you will end up with a slightly cooler environment, yes, but it will also be much more humid. Humid air holds more water by virtue of the fact it is warmer. SO you can end up with not much temperature reduction, but a muggy environment.
Better off to save up your money and buy a window unit of some sort for a dedicated room, or if you have the airflow, one or two units to help cool down the whole house. Of course that will also depend on electricity prices, but I know I'd never dream of using an evaporative cooler unless I lived in the literal desert (a hot and dry environment with low humidity).
In the USA they are nicknamed "swamp coolers" because that's what they turn the environment into.
