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.

      Balconies are pretty much standard in German housing.
      Actually, interestingly they are common especially in poorer neighbourhoods (the notorious “Plattenbau-Siedlungen”).
      The photo was taken in a mixed neighbourhood, with self-owned flats interspersed with social housing in the same apartment blocks.
      So the argument doesn’t apply in this case…
