I put some car sun shades on the windows in the flat. It worked and the temp dropped so... my wife thought she will bake herself some potatoes in the oven. After one and a half an hour of fucking up the temp in the room and taking out the potatoes she said she isn't hungry anymore. Crying or Very sad

And that the story how I got a divorce...

The problem is that during the days the sun heats up your roof and walls and even with insulation it will radiate some of that stored heat into your house/apartment. I guess for people with no form of air conditioning, open your windows during evenings/nights and keep them shut daytime (and possibly cover the sunny side windows up with thick curtains or white cardboard).

+1 did that with car sun shades, works with closed windows.

It's 21 here after yesterday armageddon-like storm. However, I've got a construction site just next to my place and they are freaking loud, so I had to close the windows - and it's starting to get warm in here, top floor and sun.
I'll have to turn the AC on again, gf is in the other room and she's fine with how warm it is... I'm glad I have separate units for each room Very Happy

Ouch, top floor under the roof can be hell since it'll basically absorb that direct sunlight and radiate it inwards. The lower level floors are protected by the top floor which is trapping the heat. The coolest places in my 4-floor building (not counting AC cooled apartments) are the basement and the bottom of the stairwell (heat travels upward).

Yep, I know that, but I wanted the top floor (not that there are that many - it's ground + three other). One redeeming thing would be that the roof is all covered in grass, so it absorbs some of the heat along with the soil underneath.
But I was sure about getting AC before buying the place, and since it was not yet built (walls only) I managed to get the AC wiring / pipes buried in walls and floor. So I only have the units visible, nothing else.

Ah, to add to the top-floor-under-the-roof oven, the flat is facing south / south-east Very Happy Though it was also my choice, since I wanted a sunny place

Yep. There's another wave here and in the UK (albeit it seems a lot milder), despite early, mass vaccinations.

I'm going to get the fattest power bill of the year in August thanks to my AC. I've used 100% more power in July 2021 compared to July 2020. My average usage the last 3 months was ~4 to 4.2 kWh's/day. On July 16th I used 17.75 kWh's. But damn it, it's worth every pence/penny/öre to not suffer in 30+ C with high humidity. I'm definitely not comfortable with anything above ~24 degrees. Last year the heat wave arrived in August so unless August turns out to be a real scorcher this year as well the yearly average will even itself out. You can literally use the chart at the bottom to check the hottest days over the last 12 months.

Long term prognosis (with a big margin of error obviously) shows August to sit at 20-24 degrees at which point I don't need the actual cooling enabled (which is what draws 85% in the AC), only the AC's fan to make things very comfy, esp. during late evenings and nights. My living room is facing south which means the sun is heating up the walls from sunrise to sundown turning the southern face of the building into a big radiator. I've almost considered moving the part of my living room that I use the most (sofa, TV, PC etc.) into the bedroom which is facing North and thus is the coolest room in the apartment.

July 2020 vs July 2021:


1 year data over my usage (daily data points). Very easy to see the periods of high heat prompting the use of my AC:



I really like the tools my electricity supplier provides for it's customers. It also shows the best times to take a vacation to Sweden for people that like warm weather as well as setting things straight for people who still believe Sweden is a frozen tundra with polar bears, darkness and snow all year around. Razz

In fact, Sweden a vertically tall country (1 572 km/976.8 miles) and we cover three temperate sub-zones:
"Sweden's climate is usually called: warm temperate in Götaland's coastal areas (Götaland = southern part of country), cold temperate in the interior of Götaland, Svealand (middle part of country) and in Norrland, except for the northernmost mountains, which have a polar climate."

In fact, Malmö is closer to the equator than both Edinburgh and Glasgow. One major reason our summers in esp. the south-west/south/south-east parts of Sweden are hot is because of the Gulf stream. Our winters are much milder than areas along the same latitudes in Asia and North America:

"The summers in Sweden are about as hot as the summers in North America and Asia at the same northern latitude. The winters in Sweden are, however, much milder than at the corresponding latitude in North America and Asia. For example, the daily average temperature in Stockholm during the month of January is 20-25 degrees higher than it is at the corresponding latitude in Canada. Further north, the differences become even greater.

These relatively high winter temperatures in Sweden are mainly due to the proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and the warm Gulf Stream in the west."

Setting things straight

Fuck Yeah

Is very simple: No one is worth seeing and nothing is worth doing from noon to 7pm. Stay in the shade and keep a fan on at all times if no AC is available. Keep freezer stocked with frozen water bottles and one near you.

Why do you think hot climate countries don't do very well in scientific progress or territorial expansion? It's simply too hot to do anything Laughing
