[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Too Hot !  I had a coat on last night in the dining room and thick winter duvet to sleep under , freezing cold here but then it always is in this house 

Not exactly warm here, either.

[Mr.OmegaMan]

I've got one of these digital clocks that gives the temperature and last night around 2am it was 27.4c  outside around 9.0c ..

What are these portable A/C units like on electric have seen a few for sale A rating..

Was thinking on a fan like this if going down this route.

Nice and warm just down the road

fantastic thread. One of the best for ages.

Please keep up these tales of excessive heat. The time to worry is when it is 26degC inside and 26 outside.(Yes cem I know that isn't really hot but the problem is North Europeans are born with thick blood yours is 5W/20, theirs is 30W/50))  If it is 9 outside then either turn the heating off or perhaps open some windows.

 

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Just been for a run temp outside got upto 24c on the move according to the Omega temp computer thingy  which means another hot night

When I was over in Ukraine a few weeks ago it was proper hot weather of 25degC on a cool day and up to 34degC on a hot day and about 50degC in the sun, when I came back here it felt like winter. 

I was doing a lot of building work most days with granite rock for damp proof layer and then heavy concrete blocks, so I got the full effect of the heat. 

I love proper hot weather and can't wait to be out there permanently. 

In the UK where I have a chalet bungalow, when we do get a hot spell the flat roofs act like large radiators. So, I have put ceiling fans in each of the bedrooms, which on their lowest speed are practically silent and provide a gentle breeze. I much prefer them to ordinary fans as the noise does not disturb your sleep.

Something like this ?

Westinghouse Bendan 132 cm/ 52-inches Ceiling Fans, Satin Chrome-Wengue

Don't know if I'd pay that much for one but I presume cheap ones would be noisy 

[omega3000]

You can get ceiling fans a lot cheaper than that , have a look in Argus . We had one for years and was quiet running . If all else fails ive got some air/con fans i ripped off the 3.0 that will do

by the way I feel cold even at 26-27 celcius..  after 36 degrees I start to feel hot and above 45 celcius I try to find colder areas

[cem_devecioglu]

anyone searching for fans, is searching for trouble..
 
I remember some years ago when I warned a British couple sitting in front of a fan at a bar (night time ), they looked me like I'm mad     but the next day both were sick..

[omega3000]

Well Eastern side of uk is much colder than West , cold wind blowing and more like 10deg  Too cold for ice cream man who just pulled up

That would mean having the engine on all night imagine how much petrol it would use 

I'll have a look on Argos's website see if i can find one around £50 say.

How noisy are these compared to ceiling fans ?

[omega3000]

Those are noisy as the air has to pass through the mesh , ceiling fans are better and quieter .. think we paid £30 a while back for one , and the flying bugs dont like them if they ever come out of hibernation
