Form an open '5' handshape with your dominant hand. Bring your hand up to the side of your face with your palm facing toward you. Wave your hand back and forth a few times, bending at the wrist, as if you are holding a hand fan and fanning yourself to cool down.
Sign 'HOT TODAY, I NEED FAN.' Use the waving motion near your face to clearly show that you need to cool down from the heat.

No, this sign specifically refers to a device used for cooling or the action of fanning yourself. To say you are a fan of a team or a celebrity, you would typically fingerspell F-A-N or use the signs for 'support' or 'enthusiastic.'
This sign is most commonly used for a hand fan, a desk fan, or the general concept of fanning. For a ceiling fan, signers often point upward and use a rotating '1' handshape to mimic the spinning blades on the ceiling.
The speed of your waving can show how hot you are! A slow wave implies a gentle breeze, while a fast, frantic wave shows you are extremely hot and desperately trying to cool down. Match your speed to the context.
