I’d love AC here. Some of the new apartment blocks they built around here have AC but not this place. It’s relatively uncommon. Not worth it for a month a year.  Using farenheight, it was 87 today. Humidity 38% which is ok.

@specmaster: sounds good. Much  cooler out in the countryside. London is too bloody hot.

Cerebus:
Although it's been around the 28-30C mark (83-86F) the past few days, the nights have been as cool as 16C (61F) so it's been OK.

What I fear is that it's going to stay warm overnight the next few days, certainly feels like it will tonight. I've just been tacking up the solar control film (aka RAF surplus plane cover material. Silvered one side, low IR emitting the other) over the bedroom windows which catch the afternoon/evening sun in the hope of keeping it cool enough to make sleeping bearable. It also means that, as the 'film' is opaque, I can leave the blinds open tonight to let some breeze in but keep the 4:30 AM daylight attenuated enough to not wake us up..

I keep on pondering some A/C for the rare hot periods that could be used as an air source heat pump in the cooler months, but with a Victorian end of terrace property I've problems with siting the outdoor parts. Either they would overhang the back gardens of my neighbours (who I'd need to tap for access and agreement) or I have to plumb through the typically awkward Victorian construction to take it out to the side by my back garden. Either way, I never get around to planning or deciding and put it off until next year's hot spell gets me thinking about it again.

Same here, AC is working full time now  :)

It was so cold until now that I didn't really cleaned the pool.  This morning I was rushing trying to do something but I just made it worst.

Ever thought of opening doing what the Victorians did: open the window? Beyond that electric punkah wallahs are very cheap and effective nowadays.

London is too bloody most things. It is only tolerable if you live right in the centre, or at or beyond the outer boundary. Anywhere between is not tolerable, for me at least.

FWIW, I grew up within 1/4 mile of the boundary - after that you could walk for 4 miles across common land without crossing a road :)
