When I went to bed last night it was 29.8C in my living room/bedroom. As you’d imagine sleeping was very difficult.

With 4 nights this week with overnight lows of just 19C the indoor temperatures are going to be high here, and that's going to be coupled with the humidity.

20c in lounge, 22c in bedrooms, 28c outside

Thank goodness we installed air conditioning last year, so much better than trying to sleep in a bedroom that feels like a sauna.

Talking of which, it was 33C upstairs when I got in, 24.5 downstairs and 28C outside.


A couple of hours later, it's still 24.5C downstairs (those new windows are doing a super job of keeping the heat out), while upstairs it's 30.2 in the back bedroom (with the windows open) and 24.0C in my bedroom (with the a/c running for the past 2 hours).

I ordered a portable ac and should be here by Wednesday.


Mostly for use in the bedroom for sleep mainly.

Reached 21c in the hall today which is quite warm for this house as it is normally around 16c. The benefits of old farmhouses

So, as luck would have it I'm off work today. The mission is to keep the house cooler indoors than it was yesterday, but it's not going to be easy!


Currently 15.7C outside, but no wind whatsoever.


Indoors it's 23.5C downstairs, the windows have been open all night (so starting from a relatively high level).


Upstairs, again with the windows open, it's 25C... aside from my bedroom, where it's 21C (as I had the a/c on all night).


The plan is to keep the windows open all the time it's more than 1C cooler outside, then I'll close them. I'll keep the a/c on today once I close the windows, even though it'll cost a small fortune, in the hope it'll help moderate temperatures indoors somewhat.


TBH I've no idea how to keep things cool IF it gets to 40C, or even close to it. There's usually a few hours' grace before the inside warms up to the outside temperature, but these muggy, warm nights aren't helping much!


EDIT: Patio doors wide open, fan on the patio blowing into the living room. It's gone from 23.5 to 22 in the space of 10 minutes in there.

Touched 30c in my bedroom tonight, been around 28-29C for the majority of the time.


It's a small room and the computer being on doesn't help matters

Up to 27.5C inside at one point today, and that’s in a badly insulated Victorian pile with no south facing windows. The nights in London have been so warm, no respite.

Now 27C but only just a degree of so cooler outdoors so no relief yet.

23.1C upstairs (windows open all night) and 22.5C downstairs.

Managed to get it down to 21.5 downstairs and 23.5 in the loft study this morning. I expect that's as low as it will get. Was 24.5 and 30.5 for a while earlier in the week.

22C outside, 22C upstairs and 22C downstairs. Can't really do better than that without a/c being involved!

Operation "pre condition" begins in earnest today.


Amazingly, it's only 12C outside - the coldest it's been for a week. I've put a fan on the patio, blowing that lovely cool air indoors. The windows are all open to make the most of the cooler air.


The plan is to close the windows once the air temperature gets to 20C or so, then let the a/c do its thing. It'll take time for the downstairs to warm up.


The aim is to have it around 22C down, 24C up to start tomorrow's "fun".


Anyway, for now, it's 21C upstairs and 18.5C downstairs.
