i don’t think i can survive much longer
I didn’t even get the usual evening breeze last two nights to cool my room down. I had to keep a wet sheet over my legs and I still felt hot. I’ve got foil on my windows and one of those car windscreen mylar things but since it’s supposed to be flush with the windows and I have those annoying upvc monstrosities I wonder if it’s not just trapping heat instead. For some reason the hot air really wants to stay in my room. Even with the door open and a through current to the front of the house which is north facing. There’s a big difference in heat the moment you step through my doorway 😭😭

Aim a fan in/out a window to increase airflow.
Aim a fan at yourself. That’ll increase wind chill.
If you have multiple levels (e.g. a house) open a window downstairs and one upstairs. The rising hot air inside will draw in cooler air from outside, but the hot air needs to be able to escape. If you power that with a fan, that’s good too.
Has me wondering how I can cool my house cheaply, overnight only dropped 0.5c on the thermostat. It only warmed up 2c during the day yesterday but I need to be able to get rid of that heat somehow for the next day!
Open a window in one room and point a fan out of it a couple of feet away, then open all windows in other rooms. This pushes all the hot air out while drawing in to cool night air. I also pointed another fan into the room with the first fan to help with airflow.
It’s that time of year when we get never before experienced temperatures.
Had the fan on all night, it was alright as long as I had the bedroom and bathroom window open
I left a fan on one Summer having no clue how expensive they were (are?) to run. I thought the electric company made a mistake when my bill came, long story short they hadn’t :(
