BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the American sign. See the BSL sign for “Summer” instead
Step by step
- Point your dominant index finger up in a 1 handshape.
- Wipe the fingertip across your forehead from one temple to the other.
- Close the hand into an X handshape as it crosses, like wiping away sweat.
Practice tip
The finger folds shut mid-wipe — you are wiping sweat off your brow.
