It's been a beautiful 29c here and I've had the roof down on my car since leaving for 0800 at work

I don't mind it hot when it's reasonably dry, bit of a breeze and not humid, it's the humidity I can't deal with.

It's a pretty brutal heat down here. The second I step outside in the morning my neck starts burning. Literally a burning sensation, no exaggeration.

I just don't get how people can enjoy being slowly cooked.

It's just after the that winter went on and on. Nice to get some heat.

Fan?

Don't muck about with fans, get an aircon. Not had a disturbed nights sleep due to heat for 6 or 7 years now. Usually (only had to once this year so far) you don't even need it running through the night. You get the room down nice and cool before and for me it's fine through the night.

Last night was grim. Could not cool the room down. Out in the sun all day Thursday with no shade

Why oh why do we not start putting air con in houses, at least in new builds.

Might have to sleep downstairs tonight, last night was hard work

moon man · 26 Jun 2018 at 08:30

got some black out blind slats ,under a quid each ,makes a massive difference

AndyCr15 · 26 Jun 2018 at 08:38

Hmm, I'm not sure, I think there's still some light coming through there... I think I can make out your garden/yard too...

:confused:

I've got a large floor standing fan mounted in some ply/frame inside the loft hatch which sucks air from inside and chucks it out. It works well because the nights are sufficiently cool enough to cool the whole house down without relying on a breeze

I'm thinking of ordering one of those 1000 litre 1m cubed industrial liquid shipping containers. Just need to get one that was transporting something like orange juice, and not Agent Orange

All our butts ran dry weeks ago.

Well, what I really meant is, without the poor attempt at humour

, what are we looking at? You said you have some blackout blind slats, but we're looking at an open door? I was just a little confused...

Sounds like a good idea. My problem is the wife. The birds wake her up apparently. It took a battle just to leave one of the two windows open. Can't open the other, too close to where she sleeps and the bugs might get her. No words.

I was doing ok until my aircon unit broke spilling water all over the place.

To buy another its gonna take 6 to 10 days

MooMoo444 · 26 Jun 2018 at 13:01

My god it is positively warm outside

Yet freezing in the office
