It's too hot :(

Was 31 yesterday, 26 and a bit today. Noticeably cooler today. Lovely to have a couple of days of summer weather, despite the sleep issues. The evenings outside make up for it.

Would prefer 24-25ish so you can still do things, but I'm not going to complain if it's a bit more for a day or so.
That's the problem, doing things is so hot and sweaty the wife doesn't want to do anything:D
 
Periodic contribution to say one of the best things I discovered for keeping the living room temp down is a big blackout curtain, hung outside (pinched in) the windows. Not everyone will have a big, white blackout curtain hanging about, but it's earned its keep here for days like this. Reflects an awful lot of energy and makes the west-facing living room bearable at this time of day. Suppose foil would do the trick too, but that's a lot of foil-faff.

Not recommended for folk on the 18th floor though. :eek:
 
AC came on even earlier today as I'm flippin' roasting. Just looked at the forecast which yesterday said it should start cooling off tomorrow but now says two more days of this heat before it starts cooling off.
 
i remember having Covid for the second time two years ago in this type of weather. Not pleasant at all and the humidity makes Covid symptoms much worse. Had an asthma attack from this
 
Kept curtains closed all day in bedroom. Got home and put on fan on max with window open. Then turned fan down every couple of hours then switched off before bed. It was cool enough to sleep. Must get some new batteries for weather station
 
I think I mentioned in this thread before, open the loft hatch upstairs and leave it open. I did that a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, I had to actually go into the loft last week and when I finished doing my chore, I closed it. Only realised yesterday. I wondered why it was particularly warm. I reopened it and as I was half way up the steps, I could feel the heat rising up into the loft. Last night sleep was much better compared to last few nights.

I feel sorry for my wife and kids. They are staying in an 8 berth static with her mum, brother and his missus. Dread to think how they are keeping cool at night. I just have my Labrador to keep me toasty at night with his furnace temperature breath lol
