not possible for many people.
That's probably badly installed AC. A few years ago I worked in a branch of Debenhams that supposedly had AC but it only really worked in the footwear and Dorothy Perkins concession
Too expensive for a two day heat wave. Aren't they also fairly expensive to run?
I cant stand the heat so it makes me less miserable. B&Q were selling them all off one August so got a £300 unit for £170. "We survived the summer of 1976" yeah OK good for you
Whereas on a spring day in the UK, as soon as it hits 20° (and often lower!) we're in shorts and t-shirt, floaty dresses, sandals etc. BBQ is lit, suncream is out ....It's funny how where you live influences your temperature tolerance. It's quite fascinating.
I live in the Caribbean (Trinidad, so very close to the Equator) and 30 degrees is a good, fairly mild day here. The norm is 34-35 in July - September and because of the humidity which is in the high 80s, it feels much hotter. But somehow, we manage okay even for those who don't have AC at home and we are able to regularly move about outdoors or run errands in the midday sun.
But the cold!!!! Anything under 22 degrees and we are freezing. I literally wear a scarf, large jacket and sometimes mittens if it's near 20 in the office as do lots of other women.
How about an air conditioned cinema? That’s what I’m considering.
Oh wow! After a 22 day here in the UK I can barely sleep as it’s too hot! That’s crazy! Our winters are like -4 up to around 11 ish I guess and that’s when I wear my coat and gloves and hat! I suppose you get used to being boiling and then any less feels chilly xIt's funny how where you live influences your temperature tolerance. It's quite fascinating.

That’s what I’m doing too I’ve also got a cat sitter coming Monday as I’ll be at work and very worried about keeping the cats cool and hydrated
yeah I’m worried for my cat too. He was so grumpy the other day, he is a chonky boy with medium length hair, and we live in a flat . He took to sleeping in the bath or on top of my chest of drawers but next to his cool matsOh wow! After a 22 day here in the UK I can barely sleep as it’s too hot! That’s crazy!

. I’ll give him extra wet food to increase his fluid intake and he has some licks I have put in the freezer which he enjoys. Other than that, all I can do is close all the windows and keep the curtains closed and have the fans on max.I put ice packs under my cats beds an the coldness seeps through I also wet a brush an brush them and also give them cat milk with a bit of water mixed in xxyeah I’m worried for my cat too.

Might be worth getting them a spot to sleep in a wardrobe or some other dark corner too. My cat has a set hiding space in one as he used to be terrified of everything and it seems to be a bit of a favourite spot at the moment when it's hot, it's probably cooler as it's dark the entire day and next to a wall which I assume is coldyeah I’m worried for my cat too.

You might want to check that....we went during the last heatwave as my daughter cannot tolerate anything above 25c and they hadn't switched it on. When I questioned it they said that they don't control their own AC, it's done at HQ, and out of their control.
It was a new bottle and I was applying every hour. I have very fair skin and there was no shade.
i put ice packs under mine too but he still won’t use it
He doesn’t help himself that’s for sure!I don’t have a wardrobeMight be worth getting them a spot to sleep in a wardrobe or some other dark corner too.

I'm thinking of buying a cooling bandana for my dogs, but I can't find if they're any good or safe. If someone has tried them with their dog or know anything please let me know
and the sun is on the side of my flat all the time He does sometimes sleep under the futon or under my bed so I’m going to put a towel down with ice packs and hope he decides to sleep on it. My ice packs are only thin so don’t last long but I’m going to put some bottles of water in the freezer and use them as ice packs too.
Same. I can’t tell you how ducking SICK AND TIRED I am of hearing my neighbours crappy music. on repeat, one about packing up your tit and go, one about bleeping oh my love where did you go, another about not seeing someone’s name on their phone when they wake up.
I do. The only neighbors I want are the kind you never hear. Half of the people are selfish cunts that never for a second contemplate how their behaviour negatively impacts other people.
Their actual next door neighbour is a nhs nurse. I don’t know how she copes.
