      Lmao. We do need ac though, the problem is Europe has a ton of older houses which were build when it was much more beneficial to try and keep warmth in rather than out. And it’s a pain in the ass to retrofit all these houses with ac. I live in a flat which was build about 15 years ago and the difference compared to my previous apartments is enormous. Still no ac, but it’s not needed here because of proper isolation and smaller windows.

        Don’t they have these cheapy portable ACs with a radiator you can drag outside? It shouldn’t cost too much, you just need a hole in the wall to stick the radiator through. Then, once you stick the radiator and it’s pipe through, you can slather the hole with cement or whatever so the heat doesn’t get in. Shouldn’t cost more than 500 USD and take more than an hour to set up.

        Edit: Photo showing what I mean (found on google):

          That assumes you have bought you own house which you can alter. Where I live it’s 60% owns and 40% rents, but the cities, where it’s much warmer and which heat up faster and thus need ac the most, have more renters than buyers. So you’re dependent on whoever you’re renting from to do anything like that.

          Those things are not good. They are basically advanced fans. The entire “hot side” is still 8naode your house, and whole it has the hose to pump hot air out, essentially more air (normally from outside, which will be hot) has to come in to replace it. Ultimately thosw machines will make your house hotter, even if they are able to blow cold air on a specific area.

          Strangely the old American style ones they hang out of a window are some.of the most effective, though we don’t really have any windows like that in Europe anymore to hang those AC units out.

          Your windows are superior in how they open, however the average American would need better education in order to operate them.

          I was just there in June and my apartment had 3 options for the window to open depending on latch position. One would open the top for venting, one would open wider with just the glass part of the window leaving the bug screen in place and another would open the whole unit so you could hang out the window and fall 10m to the ground.

          Best we have what are called double hung windows, top and bottom open (up/down or left/right side slide). Almost every house i’ve ever lived in has screens.

    in North Africa they had 50 °C at the fucking sea. All the “you keep the southern African climate migrants in check for us” agreements the EU made, will not be worth much soon, when the people from Tunesia, Morocco and Algeria have to flee themselves from the heat.

      Sounds like heaven. Here in southern Ontario, Canada most days have been over 30C with high humidity and frequent thunderstorms, which only make it more humid. And other days, we’ve been getting smoke from the wildfires further north in eastern Ontario and Quebec. Annnnddddd…my A/C is broken.

      On the plus side, there’s a bit of relief right this moment, with the temperature currently at 16C (it’s like 5am rn). Hopefully I can trap as much of this cool air in my place as possible.
