    Not looking forward to it at all, anything above 30°C is horrible especially when working.

    It's because it's so insanely humid. Today the temp is 21c with 89% humidity, and this is bad enough. plus no air conditioning and houses built to trap heat.

    Sounds awful. Summers are torture to me. I wish it was chilly and grey always.

    The yearly "we don't need AC because we've got this weather only two weeks in a year"

    More people are getting AC installed now but AC is pretty expensive still. Like a decent AC can cost at least 3000 euro in The Netherlands. If you are renting, good luck convincing your landlord to do that lmao. A mobile AC unit won't always work.

    Yeah, I am very fortunate to have been able to get an install for less than that (and to live in my family abode so that landlords are not in the picture at all).

    It should be on the landlords to do it

    No real good advice other than having a fan made hanging in a hot room with my mate bearable today so invest in a cheap one if you can
