opening up to try and cool down at night was a mistake, it's getting hotter inside :(

we always whack our bedroom window wide open and close the door 2-3hrs before bed and it’s cool enough to sleep. The heat upstairs is insane now. Can feel it punch you in the face lol.

definitely bbq weather especially under the stars as the air temp drops, my daughters down here at the weekend so may have a bbq with a few of us then, and yes 3 out of 4 of us are veggie and vegan so we win the vote, saves having 2 bbqs

Ours is veggie.
We usually have beyond burgers. But they didn't have any. So had "this" burgers and sausages. Sausages were amazing. But prefer the beyond burgers
 
Typical there is some slight cooler air coming from the front of the house but I have my fan setup to blow air from the back to the front and no easy way to swap it over :s

my garden office is still at 27c with ac on full blast. Good insulation…. Not.

Portable AC unit…it is dumping hot air out through the vent after it went through the compressor…however, you are creating a negative pressure because you are dumping air out, so to balance it out, air from outside will have to come in.

This is the main problem with portable AC.

100%! Still much better than no ac. Last years heatwave the room got to 40c.

Yep, though even with this compromise it’s often worth it when it can maintain a room at a more comfortable, lower temperature.
 
I see its extended now, like in the past it looks like will linger longer than originally predicted, extended from a week to week and a half..

Already affecting me headaches and blocked nose from the heat.

Unlike the short spells of heat earlier in the summer this one has high humidity, its really horrible stuffy air.
 
Have my portable AC on in the front room, it's dropped it from 27c down to 23c but it feels colder as I have a fan which then blows the cold air over towards where I am.

Popped upstairs to grab something and it's like an oven up there, not looking forward to trying to sleep tonight.
AC is too loud to use in the bedroom but I do have a silent fan blowing across the bed which helps to some extent... Still prefer winter nights
