French do this en masse to avoid heat stroke: They claim it helps on hot days (VIDEO)

During extreme heatwaves, people are seeking quick and cheap ways to cool their homes. An American influencer living in France shared a trick using aluminum foil and water to reduce indoor temperatures by reflecting sunlight. The method involves attaching the foil to the outside of windows and spraying it with water to secure it. While some users claim it works effectively, others remain skeptical, noting it provides only minor cooling and cannot replace traditional air conditioning. Experts acknowledge the technique might slightly reduce heat but emphasize it is not a substitute for dedicated cooling solutions like reflective films, blinds, or external shading.
