    Good luck. I went there last July during a heat wave and it was 38 most days. They’re absolutely not equipped to handle that. My hosts did what they do when it’s cold and sealed up all the windows and doors. Now I live in a hot climate in the US and it took me days to convince them that you need to open the doors and windows and get air moving. The idea was entirely foreign to them.

      We do have better insulation here, especially with modern homes you’re better off closing doors and windows during the day and opening them by night.

      It works if you open doors at night to cool the house off but seal it before the sun heats the air up

      Humidity is the issue where I live. Gotta close windows and have dark curtains or your house fills up with warm air from outside.

      Best place in a flat or appartment building is the cellar, because air never mixed and cool air pools down

      That’s 100F in Freedom Units™. In fucking Finland. We’re cooked, soon to be literally.
