One time I'd walked across town on a hot day
(to buy rare vacuum cleaner bags, of all things)
and I was that hot when I got back home, I got myself a glass of water, and then instead of drinking it, I poured it over my head.

we did this in Lanzarote last year
someone recommended we get a taxi back from town because it was so hot and we laughed at them thinking they were fools and we were tough people who could walk in a bit of sun. We didn't realise we had to go back a different way and it was 2 miles in near African sunshine with no wind so we found a supermarket and poured bottles of water over our head

On a serious note, quite a few people die from similar things.
People from the UK don't quite realise how strong that sun can be.

I was cutting some hedge at work last year when it was about 32c
and when I was half way through I got a glass of water from the water cooler (the cold tap at that) and tipped it over my head. I have never shuddered so hard in all my life, it dripped down my back into my bum crack. Then suddenly the sun hit it and it was fine. I was dry within about 5 minutes.
