Neck fans are gaining popularity as a way to beat the summer heat. While they may not significantly lower body temperature, users report feeling cooler due to the airflow on the face and neck. Experts suggest these fans primarily offer a perceived cooling effect rather than true temperature reduction, potentially masking the risk of overheating. The effectiveness is limited by humidity, and broader cooling methods are more efficient. Although offering temporary comfort, users acknowledge the fans' sound and limited area of cooling.
