Comment on UK experiences ‘tropical night’ after hottest ever May day
ScreamingFirehawk@feddit.uk 4 days agoOpen a window in one room and point a fan out of it a couple of feet away, then open all windows in other rooms. This pushes all the hot air out while drawing in to cool night air. I also pointed another fan into the room with the first fan to help with airflow.

Living room only has a single small window that can be opened, and we can’t open it much overnight as we have an indoor cat.
Shut him out of the back of the house last night and opened those windows more and damn those feel cooler right now. But they heat up a lot in the afternoon while the living room is throughout the day the best at keeping out the heat. Just more difficult to remove heat from… Also with a pretty big aquarium it’s probably got a massive thermal mass from all that water.
Think we need to look into some kind of cat proof window covers. Ideally for 2 windows to get some airflow through the living room and some other room of the house. Chicken wire might be a fairly cheap option and I could do with getting some for other projects too.
