Can Placing a Basin of Water in the Car Help Cool It Down?

[JasonLynn]

Placing a basin of water in the car cannot help cool it down. Here are some tips for cooling down the car interior: 1. Prevent direct sunlight exposure: When parking, try to find a shaded area and avoid leaving the car under the scorching sun. After parking, use a sunshade to cover the windshield. Using a sunshade can effectively slow down the rise in interior temperature, with a temperature difference of up to 5 to 6 degrees within an hour. 2. Utilize the air conditioning for cooling: After starting the car, don't rush to turn on the cold air. Instead, ventilate the car by opening the sunroof and side windows for a while to expel the hot air inside. Use the car's air conditioning in recirculation mode to lower the interior temperature in the shortest time possible. 3. Prevent moisture in summer: Summer brings more rain, especially the unique plum rain season in southern regions. On rainy days, the best way to prevent moisture inside the car is to turn on the cold air.
