To keep indoors tolerable, Americans should shade sunny rooms and wait until the cool hours of early morning or late evening to switch on appliances that throw offbeat (dishwashers, clothes dryers). In addition, the FEA advises, house holders should use the next few months to improve their homes' insulation.
