Third extended heat wave within 6 weeks.

The previous one exceeded 40°C, and the buildings not yet had time to completely cool down from that one before the third wave hit.

I was considering putting up a tent in my garden myself, but as I own a ground floor flat, the indoor temperatures did, with the help of some additional cooling measures, thankfully not exceeded 27°C.

    Was thinking so myself.
    You would have to deal with the noise, though.
    It is an urban area, so quite some people packed into a limited space, all with their windows open during the evening and night (or sitting on their balconies or in their garden patches having lively conversations until past midnight…)
    So I was happy not having to resort to that measure in the end :-)

      Or smoking 😔

      Sucks not being able to open the windows because half the complex has smoke that loves to come right in uninvited.

        Where I live, excessive smoking seems to be thankfully mainly a thing of the past.
        At least cigarettes.
        Only one regular tobacco smoker in my building, but at least two or three smoking weed…

          Lots of both around here, and no sense of either how strong it smells or how much it affects asthma.
