"The Bureau of Meteorology has warned Australia is facing one of the hottest
summers on record. As the weather warms, many of us reach for light-coloured
clothes in natural fabrics, such as cotton and linen.

But why are natural fabrics like these so much better at keeping us cool when
the weather is hot?

Here’s what the science says."
