Can't cool the house down! First time I have gone into work at 6:30am with the top down and have been warm. Can't keep the garden watered enough either.

This weather makes me wish I could emigrate to the far north.
What's the problem? I grew up in a post war council house. It had critall windows. In the winter your finger would freeze to the frame if you touched it. Net curtains were like solid sheets of ice.
The summer of 76 was like manna from heaven.
Though we were invaded by giant ladybirds that would bite you. And boy did it hurt.

Spent 2 hrs gaming, room temp went from 29 to 32, overclocked system pumping out warmed air.
That's dedication!

It feels even hotter than yesterday, and with hayfever as well it's a double whammy of crap as it's too warm, and if I open the windows too long it flares up my hayfever (and doesn't seem to really touch the temps anyway!).
Yep 28 here in the home office as well. Cool breeze just starting, well slightly. Peaked at 31 (inside) today and actually as the office is NE facing, it's shielded from the sun by midday. Might have to sort out some cooling. That's the problem with working from home full time.

That and the opposite problem for the winter where you have to heat the home more than usual as well.
I'd much rather be too cold than too warm though, much easier to heat yourself up than cool yourself down, where the only thing you can really do is open the windows and hope it's cool enough outside, or have some kind of air con.

spent the day on a furnace line that doesn't stop, wearing a kevlar jumper, 2 guys i was working with went home sick, no mini breaks, hardly any time to get some water, nobody about to cover me, no staff rotation, nothing, just worked in 40C+ heat covered head to toe in ppe
meanwhile the manager rushed out to buy air con for the office as he was too hot at high 20s...
got home and had a cold shower as cold as it could get and didn't even feel it

Bug nets!
Basically a fine mesh you can velcro or stick to the window and just cut out a hole where the pipe goes. Added bonus of actually stopping bugs getting in too!
