Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Convection: Convection is the transfer of heat from a surface by means of a fluid such as air. Natural convection occurs as air is heated: it expands, rises, and is replaced by cooler air. The amount of convection may be increased by using a fan to increase the flow of air.

Detailed explanation-2: -Convection occurs when heat is carried away from your body via moving air. If the surrounding air is cooler than your skin, the air will absorb your heat and rise. As the warmed air rises around you, cooler air moves in to take its place and absorb more of your warmth. The faster this air moves, the cooler you feel.

Detailed explanation-3: -When the environment is not thermoneutral, the body uses four mechanisms of heat exchange to maintain homeostasis: conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Drink cool liquids. Go somewhere with cooler air. Get in cool water. Apply cold to key points on the body. Move less. Wear lighter, more breathable clothing. Take heat regulating supplements. Talk to a doctor about thyroid health.
