Daikin Emura units - very quiet and efficient. A few around here have installed them. Can’t wait to have the final rooms setup with them. I just don’t get on well with this heat.

Got the futon mattress set up in the basement mancave, where it's a lovely 12 degrees. May even need the jimjams.

We've had back to back days of 30C here before - this is the first time they've issued an extreme heat warning and it is nothing like what I'd consider extreme heat :s

Just reading, this is the first year the have started categorising heat warnings into the weather warning system. So this is actually just the first time the Met has issued one. Reading it right they only fed a system since June 1st.

Extreme heat warnings were introduced on 1 June into the National Severe Weather Warning Service (NSWWS), part of the Met Office which warns of the impacts of severe weather.

The warnings were brought in after consultations with Public Health England (PHE) and the UK's other health agencies, as well as other relevant groups, and are designed to highlight the downsides from heatwaves on things like health, infrastructure and other services.

Yeah, categorising barely 30c as 'extreme' seems wrong. They seem be thinking people swimming in lakes will lead to mass hospitalisations or something.

Havnt a bunch already died in lakes? I know more locally on the coast RNLI boats have been very busy.
 
At least 2 people have been saved from drowning around here - not sure beyond that - I know the rescue and emergency services have been very busy as my friends/family who work for organisations like that are posting on Facebook about how busy they are and trying to discourage people from adding to the problems.

Are housing regulations ever going to updated to include air conditioning I wonder?

Likely not.

I don’t understand why we have such an aversion to air conditioning in this country - I almost feel awkward telling my colleagues that I’m having it installed. The summers aren’t getting any cooler and we’ve used ours a lot over the last 18 months - sometimes to add some heat too. I was sat in a newly built restaurant today melting and wondering why it didn’t have air con.

Think it was 6 different people in various places on Sunday. A 19 year old drowned in Salford Quays. 1 or 2 people in the lake district, Yorkshire and a couple of other places.

We had it installed in some rooms a few weeks back, mostly other people's bedrooms, but I was like nah I'll just tough it out if we ever have any real heat and didn't have it installed in my bedroom... *regret*
 
I usually put a couple of litre bottles of orange squash in the freezer every morning so I can sip on them throughout the day. Today I discovered that putting a pint glass full of orange squash in the freezer for 30-60 minutes means I get ice cold squash with ice cubes :cool:
 
By the way, I mentioned about getting of those cheap air cooler fans with ice packs and I currently have it running, and it's not too bad. On the full setting it's probably as loud as an air con though, but probably nowhere near as còol. It definitely is cooler than a standard fan though.

If by housing regulations you mean building standards, then no. If somebody wants air conditioning it's not exactly hard to fit into an existing building. If it was a building standard you would have to decide what rooms got it, or whether it was the whole house like central heating then it would get ridiculously expensive.

Most people in this country have this perception though that it's not worth it and they'll just suffer through the odd few days of hot weather.

However most of those same people probably don't understand that an air conditioner can also be used as an air source heat pump in the winter.
 
Room peaked at 30.9, back down to 30

25 feels like a million miles away.

Guys whats the best device to buy that doesnt require modifying building or pipe going out the window?

Does the Met Office have to constantly think up ways of starting a calamity by making up warnings to stay relevant.

It's a load of old tosh, and the media love to lap it up especially, as after all, rolling news is all about doom and gloom. Whenever there's a flooding event in this country they're all over it, just so viewers at home can sit back in the comfort of their dry houses all smug glad it's not happening to them.

Get a large fan drawing air in from a downstairs window. Get another large fan pointing out of an upstairs window blowing air out.

That will bring cool air in and exhaust the hot air of building out.

Hmm not sure on that. At times in work when we have been given severe wind alerts I know I have been sent home early other wise I would be trapped in work at times. With out the warnings and naming of storms I know I would have been pretty buggered. Why does the MET feel they need to be relevant?, they are always relevant for weather lol.
