Those A1 rated buildings must be like an oven.

Big fan of the fan. Transfer it to the bedroom at night,beats a foot outside the duvet.

If you have an attic hatch partially open it. Opened mine about 8 inches yesterday and the place is a lot cooler and fresh now.

Oh God. You might have to get one of them plug 🔌 in portable AC units. Nearly bought a B&Q one last year but bottled it.

Most holiday hotels do have air conditioning (everyone of the ones we have been to have) - Spain, Portugal, Greece & Italy. Maybe we choose to holiday in hot weather in hotels that have air conditioning. I was in London with work during the last heatwave in June and I specifically chose a hotel with decent air con.

Yeah, just to sit beside the ac vent

Go in september/october. Temperature will usually be high teens/low 20s in the evening time so its manageable.

Spain, portugal etc is just way too hot in the summer months now - temps reaching near 40 degrees. Its nuts.

Reptiles are cold blooded creatures no? I just assumed if your cold blooded you love the cold. I was never the best at the animal side of biology!

Because Ireland has very high levels of humidity, people from many hot countries have told me that the heat here is different. It's hard to get relief by just sitting in the shade or indoors because your body sweat can't evaporate making it harder to cool down.

I was in Greece 2 weeks ago and was able to cool down by just sitting under a parasol and that was 35 degrees.

It's def a different heat to when your on holidays. I love sun holidays and always say it's totally different, it so much easier breath and it's not as clammy a heat.

There is also the fact that when your on holidays you can sit/ move/sleep as much as you want but here you have to do all your usual day to day jobs.

on holidays you walk into apt/hotel and get instant relief with the air con but here you just come in from direct sun to baking hot house so no comparison really
