Tips on How to Keep Car Cool in Summer

It's unfortunate how responsible parents don't reconsider their decision of leaving a pet or their kid inside a hot car during the summers. The fact is that car interiors tend to become hot during the summer if it gets parked in the sun for many hours. But you can certainly attempt to keep your car cooler during the days when the temperature is high. Here's how to do so through the given tips.
Park your car in a smart manner
During the unbearably hot days, parking your car in a shady area will keep the vehicle cool. If you don't find a garage, you can alternatively park beneath the trees on the edges of the parking lot or in a shade of an apartment. Ensure that you select a safe area and consider the timing. Many areas will be shady at 11 AM, whereas it may get hotter during the afternoon time. So, keep that in mind.

Make effective use of the windshield shade.
Although you may not like the appeal of the windshield shade, they are still convenient because they keep your car's temperature down. What they do is block the prime entry point for sunrays. A majority of sunshades flatten out with the accordion-style appeal and look unattractive. The foil-like covering does not go well with your luxury vehicle's looks. But they can keep your car cooler. And premium quality windshield shades comprise superior heat-absorbing materials. That makes them effective to reduce the entrance of ultraviolet and thermal rays into the vehicle's cabin.
Cover the interior of the vehicle
When the sunshade is not your car cooling choice, covering the parts of the car might be another impactful way to treat your cars during the hot seasons. Ample models are there concerning the car dashboard covers. The steering wheel & leather seats (particularly the darker seats) are the interior parts that you may wish to cover up and prevent them from getting overheated. Suppose you have dark seats of leather. It may be worth using the lighter coloured fabric covers during the summer months. You can even use a blanket to keep the interior cool, just in case you wish to!

Tint the car windows
In a majority of cases, the window tints turn out to be immensely effective and help you keep the car cool when parked. Superior quality tints get designed for allowing a nice amount of light to get passed through while still blocking out the thermal rays of the sun. Premium quality window tints can cut down on harmful ultra-violet rays. But according to the state you reside in, you may not be allowed to use the tint. Ensure that you use it only if your state permits you to do the same.
What about the solar-powered ventilation fan?
Using the solar-powered fan might be an effective move, although you seldom may know about it. What the fan does is connect to the outside top of a rolled-up window. It comprises the outward-facing solar panel powering it. This fan blows out hot air from the interior and pulls in cooler air! You can set up two fans on the rare windows that can increase cross-ventilation airflow, thereby decreasing its temperature.

Summing up
Using any of the abovementioned car cooling methods or a combination of two or three would keep your parked vehicle cooler. So, as you have read about the methods precisely, now is the right time to plan something seriously. You can perform an in-depth analysis on how to initiate a convincing process of keeping your vehicle cooler during the summers. Take assistance from the Internet for a detailed survey.
