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.

Nope, not even that fancy. It doesn't have separate poles, they're just permanently integrated. The whole thing folds up into a circle. And without real ventilation, even with that circle door, they get hot inside.

    I have slept in one of those children's tents before. I was going backpacking, and a friend offered me his "backpacking tent" that was much lighter than mine.

    It turns out it was lighter because it was a children's tent that was about 80% the length of my body, so I had to sleep with my knees up. We got snowed on, and luckily it held up.
