By the way the French authorities had some enterprising advice for coping with the heatwave this week: open windows at night with soaking wet curtains, rewetted as required. Neat idea.
A great way to get some mould going! (It is, of course, a variant on a "swamp cooler". They work well in desert areas, less-so in humid countries like ours.)
As for house temperatures, it's 34.4C in the east-facing bedroom upstairs, 29C in my west-facing bedroom (with the portable air-con going for the past 2 hours - yes, it's struggling!) and 25C in the east-facing kitchen, which is the coldest room in the house usually.
It's 27C outside and completely calm.
A hot, sticky and noisy night beckons. Noisy as I plan to leave the air-con running, but it's only a couple of feet away from the bed so earplugs are a must!
