Someone put up a tent on their balcony to escape their heat-trapping apartment during the night. (discuss.tchncs.de)

Third extended heat wave within 6 weeks.

The previous one exceeded 40°C, and the buildings not yet had time to completely cool down from that one before the third wave hit.

I was considering putting up a tent in my garden myself, but as I own a ground floor flat, the indoor temperatures did, with the help of some additional cooling measures, thankfully not exceeded 27°C.

Damn, that's actually not the worst idea...

    Was thinking so myself.
    You would have to deal with the noise, though.
    It is an urban area, so quite some people packed into a limited space, all with their windows open during the evening and night (or sitting on their balconies or in their garden patches having lively conversations until past midnight...)
    So I was happy not having to resort to that measure in the end :-)

    Or smoking 😔

    Sucks not being able to open the windows because half the complex has smoke that loves to come right in uninvited.

    Where I live, excessive smoking seems to be thankfully mainly a thing of the past.
    At least cigarettes.
    Only one regular tobacco smoker in my building, but at least two or three smoking weed...
