Third extended heat wave within 6 weeks.
The previous one exceeded 40°C, and the buildings not yet had time to completely cool down from that one before the third wave hit.
I was considering putting up a tent in my garden myself, but as I own a ground floor flat, the indoor temperatures did, with the help of some additional cooling measures, thankfully not exceeded 27°C.
They don’t have windows or fans or what?
Maybe just save up $200 and buy a portable AC unit instead of a tent
When it’s 40°C outside during the day and 27°C during the night the apartment doesn’t get the chance to cool down and fans only move hot air around. Portable air conditioners keep the dead alive with their noise while also cooling about as well as a wet rag. I totally understand the desperation of just sleeping outside during the night.
Have you used a portable AC made in the last decade? They’re quiet / on par with central AC these days. I have a Midea one and unless it’s on full-blast, it’s hardly noticeable beyond the sound of air moving
