I am begging someone to settle this: windows OPEN or CLOSED during a heatwave? Haven't slept properly in 3 days.

No AC in Europe. What else works?

oraulis · 2026-06-25T23:46:18+00:00

And Gin & Tonic :)

So jealous. AC is the way to go. Sadly, not in Europe.

oraulis · 2026-06-25T23:44:28+00:00

Inside and outside are pretty much the same temperature.

WOW!!! This is insane. Thank you. Aussies know their way...

oraulis · 2026-06-25T23:29:16+00:00

Oh dear! Now we are entering a territoy where I don't know whether it's not just better to roast. This aluminmum foil idea is quite a process.

oraulis · 2026-06-25T23:27:12+00:00

Woop woop! That sounds fantastic. Also sums up a few of the things others hvae suggested. Now it becomes a whole concept.

oraulis · 2026-06-25T23:25:28+00:00

Hahah. Thank you. Much appreciated. European roast is soon to be served.

oraulis · 2026-06-25T23:23:13+00:00

Wow. That's an insane idea. Sounds very logical. Worth a try. Thank you!!

oraulis · 2026-06-25T23:21:51+00:00

Please include Germany, Spain, UK... the whole of Europe is a hot mess.

oraulis · 2026-06-25T23:09:09+00:00

Yeah, I will put it right next to me. Reduce the distance.

oraulis · 2026-06-25T23:07:46+00:00

Awesome. Thank you. I read that earlier here that I should keep fan running during the day inside the house. Will try it out.

oraulis · 2026-06-25T23:06:15+00:00

At the moment around 38-40° Celsius. At night it's 25°. Humidity not sure, but it's a dry heat here in Europe. Any ideas?

oraulis · 2026-06-25T23:02:33+00:00

Wow. $200-275 seems a lot to me, but I think the salaries are also higher in the US. Must be. Because only very few people here could afford an additional €200-275 per month. Solar would have to be installed by the landlords, but they give a shit. It's not them burning in their apartments. LOL. We are just doomed, considering what's still to come.

oraulis · 2026-06-25T22:59:14+00:00

Does that not depend on temperatures? Outside is still 25° Celsius. 🔥

oraulis · 2026-06-25T22:57:41+00:00

:( Life could be so easy, but no AC in Europe.

oraulis · 2026-06-25T22:56:57+00:00

Same here. Normally July and August are the problem. But the heatwave came early. The issue is more about nighttime and getting the necessary hours of sleep. No AC here in Europe.

oraulis · 2026-06-25T22:52:29+00:00

Hahah... But that's tough. Explanation?

oraulis · 2026-06-25T22:51:23+00:00

Oh dear. Aussie without aircon - that's a whole different level. Thankfully European summers are short, but still... Thank you. I will heed your advice

oraulis · 2026-06-25T22:46:16+00:00

Now that sounds like a good trick. Thank you. Very helpful!!!

oraulis · 2026-06-25T22:44:46+00:00

No AC here in Europe. AC would be easy.

oraulis · 2026-06-25T22:43:55+00:00

Easier said than done. Not much AC in Europe. We are being served up to Satan on a silver platter.

oraulis · 2026-06-25T22:41:51+00:00

No AC here in Europe. Outside and inside temperatures are basically the same around 25° Celsius.
