Beating high temperatures in summer

My body keeps leaking salt water.
My plants leafs are doing rain dances.

Its too hot!! With ambient temps of around 30deg c in the room (shade temperature) the temperature under the mechanical sun is reacing 35 degs C. This will only get worse if we get a decent summer week. (england hit 40degs last year) then my grow space will hit at least 43 deg C.

First a question... Does anyone no for sure what this will do? Nach there is the strain issuse.

Second question... What can be done about it???

Any ideas no matter how stupid... put them here please. Im sure if im having difficulties now, others will probabley hit the same in a while if they havnt already.

thanks all

my ideas at the moment at to put ice packs behind the fan.

althopugh not in mid to late frowering becuase of the humidity issue. I am right in thinking humidity is good for vege bad for flower (on a crude level) arnt i???

The oher idea is to run a pipe from a fridge into the cupboard.

Add another fan? Turn the air conditioner up?

What kind of bulbs are you using?

Environmentalist here... there is not a hope in hell i would ever use air con. Its a huge waste of resources.

as i explained, another fan wont help. its the ambeints im fighting. i could, i gues shave a fan on the window sending the heat outside, but if its as hot outside then thats not going to do much.

250W HPS ina wardrobe is my current set up, the temps i descripe occur even when the doors of the drobe have been open for 4 hours.
