Running a dehumidifier can also help lower the temperature. Water takes a much longer time to heat up/cool down than air does. If you remove the warm moisture from the air and then open the windows and let the cooler 20-25 degree air inside, it should cool the house faster.
Comment on I love houses that trap heat! /s
warm@kbin.earth 9 hours agoThe only way you are cooling these houses down at night is if there's a mighty breeze, cool outdoor temperatures or if you took the entire roof off.
Your theory might sound good, but in reality it doesnt work that way. Temperatures during this heatwave wont even drop below 20-25c at night, opening the windows doesnt magically mean that the inside drops to match outside as well. It takes hours and hours to do so, and by then the sun is back up, heating the houses up again.

Dehumidifyers produce a lot of heat though

Let’s take everything you said as true.
You’re still worse off if you have a poorly insulated house.
