Nōryō Part 1
Several days ago, I introduced the Japanese term 'hisho' (避暑), which means to move to a cool place temporarily to avoid the summer heat.
Unfortunately, since I do not have much time and money, it is not easy to visit 'hishochi' (避暑地 - "cool places for hisho").
Even such situations like me, people often conduct various ideas to feel cool and spend the hot summer comfortably.
This act/idea is called 'nōryō' (納涼).
'Nō' (納) means "to bring in" and 'ryō' (涼) means "cool," so 'nōryō' literally means "to bring in cool."

納涼 Part 1
先日、夏の暑さを避けるため一時的に涼しい場所に移動することを意味する「避暑」という言葉を紹介しました。
残念ながら、私は時間的にも金銭的にもあまり余裕がないので、「避暑地」を訪れることは簡単ではありません。
そのような場合でも、夏の暑さを凌いで涼しく過ごすために、さまざまな工夫をすることがあります。
これを「納涼」と言います。
「納」は「取り入れる」、「涼」は「涼しさ」を意味するので、「納涼」は文字どおり「涼しさを取り入れる」という意味になります。

Instead of 'much', 'enough time and money for travel' also seems natural.
