Can’t argue with that ^^^🙄

I will let you know how opening the windows goes in Dubai/Bahrain 

If that's where you're off to you have my sympathy 

Have to say Bahrain is the nicer looking of the two, but it's only ever for a night or two, so whilst neither would be my first choice, for a holiday, they have to be an improvement on a Tuesday night in Mancchester 

Depends on who you're with

It's just June.... 

June 17th....one hot day....then back to normal 

Apparently the hottest day recorded in the UK was 35.6C in Southampton on 28 June 1976. 

Climate change!

It was only 34 in Longford at 5 this evening

Funny how people throw their windows open on a hot day.

Trick is to close the curtains/blinds on the sun-facing side and keep all window and doors closed.

A short while ago it was 32c outside and only 24c inside my home. Not great, but bearable.

This absolutely works. 
Keep the hot air out  when its hot, let the cool air in,  in the evening when it cools down.We started doing it a couple of summers ago and it makes a big difference.
Hoping to get the aircon regased in the Omega Weds. too which will make life more bearable if we keep getting high temps.

That's how it's done in southern France and Spain. Keep the windows and shutters facing the sun closed. Combine that with traditional building style - thick walls, light plaster, tiled roofs and floors - and cool interiors are entirely possible even when the outside temperature is 40°.

Aren't those Mediterranean countries?

Aren't those Mediterranean countries? 

Yes. But the principle is the same; keep the heat out.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]
