Hi there, time to share ways to keep your home cool during hot times

So ok, usual ways I use:

  • open everything during night
  • close everything during day
  • external sheets on windows without shutters
  • some curtains to prevent heat from going upstairs

I was also wondering if plants could also help inside, any ideas ?

Share your advices !

    How is losing weight going to help right now? They can hardly lose enough weight in time for the next heatwave.

    Or maybe they’re in the menopause.

    Or maybe it’s 50C out.

    Or maybe they’re on one of the plethora of medications that causes heat intolerance.

    Or maybe they’re elderly.

    AC is horrifically expensive (energy bills) and terrible for the environment, by the way. People aren’t cheap, they can’t afford it.

      I found it good advice. We don’t know every detail about OP life. Of course, some example won’t apply but that’s fine.
