It's too hot :(

[squerble]

Only goes down to 20 in the middle of the night and the house will be radiating all that stored heat so I would be amazed if I can get the bedroom down under 23 overnight.

Worst thing is that you need the windows open to vent it so the curtains are open. Sun wakes you up at an ungodly hour and then everyone on the way to the station seems to love to shout at 7:30 like its a fricking jamboree.

Showing 24ºC minimum temp overnight here luckily in 24 hours it'll mostly be over, with windows wide open.

Unfortunately our house loves to absorb heat so it will be a long time before cool nights really return. I like the bedroom to be about 18 degrees, colder in winter. This is killing my sleep quality.

29.9c in my living room. My house is a furnace. Had all windows/curtains closed all day too.

Do people have their windows open yet? Our rooms are about 28C but outside is still a good 33C, so open windows will just warm the house up.

Wind chillz factor m8.

Rear doors open now, downstairs hallway thermometer read 29c so I gave up. There's the odd breeze coming in now.

It now comes down to whether I open upstairs or not now

[mrk]

False and incorrect!

Yeah I caved about an hour ago, my south facing bedroom was too hot and stuffy. Temps gone up a tad but the breeze makes it feel somewhat fresher.

Stuck my head out but still hotter outside so will wait a bit.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Even the air con is taking ages to cool upstairs back down from 30C. Still 30C outside somehow.

So it looks like tomorrow is the hot one.

 

[Smeghead]

32c in my room according to my clock. Against my better judgement I'm having a bit of a gaming session, so i'll be roasting tonight.

Meh, sticky plums weather.

I've been running the AC all day since about 9am. That's 2.5kw for 12 hours. My leccy bill is going to be stupid this month.

Same here, but it still beats feeling ill

 

[uscool]

9pm and it's 33c inside , glad Wednesday it's back right down

Not even gonna bother switching on the PC

My portable AC unit is struggling to get the room below 25. Only turned it on an hour ago or so after relying on open doors and windows all day, which honestly wasn't too bad.

After busting off the window restrictors, the increased natural air flow seems to have had a much bigger impact than anticipated compared to previous hot days where I've tried to keep cool air in.

The AC detected the room at 31 when I turned it on and it's been churning non stop. Usually hits low 20s and goes off and on, but is plateauing at 25.

 

[squerble]

But by having the windows and doors open all day, you let in 35º+ air... no wonder it can't cool the house.

I’ve shut some rooms today to try to limit how much we use, but cooling some of them back down from 30-32 has probably used just as much energy.
