Your room is so hot even with the fan on because of lack of proper ventilation.

If you only have a fan to keep cool and no air conditioner for your room you need to have your windows open on hot days along with your fan.

Fans themselves don't cool rooms but they do cool people.

So also make sure you have the fan pointed at you and also have the windows open to allow for air flow.

You can also place a fan such as a box fan inside your window and point it so that fan blows air in which helps improve air circulation and helps keep your room cooler and yourself cooler.

You can also place a bowl of ice in front of a fan so that the fan blows over the cold ice and then helps to cool you down.

You can also cool yourself down by putting a cool wet towel over your face.

You can cool a room with just one window and one fan.

Place a box fan in the window or a pedestal fan within 5 feet of the window.

When the air is cooler outside than it is inside, point the air so it blows into the house.

When the air cools down outside during the evening then that is a good time to open windows and place fans near the window or in the window to blow that cool air into your house.

'First, keep your windows, doors and blinds shut during the day to avoid hot sun beating down into your house.

Then, during the evening, open your windows and place one fan facing out of your window, so it pushes the heat out,' they advise.

'Use a second fan, placed inwards, to circulate cool air into the room.
