This European heatwave has been going on for weeks and shows no signs of abating. It’s really wearing me down. Any tips for staying cool when you don’t have air conditioning? I’ve tried the whole shutting the windows and blinds thing they recommend but that just makes it worse. I already feel uncomfortably hot at the best of times as a side effect of my medication. So an actual heatwave on top is literal torture. It’s so bad in the UK that supermarket refrigerators have stopped working due to the heat, and the news says its going to be the longest heatwave in 50 years.
I live in the UK so i’m not too worried about bats or wildlife, only spiders. Soon the giant spiders will be out and I’m not looking forward to that, it’ll be a choice between shut the windows and boil to death or leave them open and get giant spiders in here.
