I think I misunderstood him. I assumed he meant that the inside of his house was 95, but I think he meant that the outside was 95. Still anything over 80 indoors I can’t handle.
Edit: nope just read his other reply and it was 95 inside. Again, fuck that.
Yeah, it sucks. AC is very uncommon in residential housing so there is not much you can do, especially if you’re like me with a hot computer in the house. Without a computer it’s still way to hot but it’s better.
Optimally you open your windows but you might not always want to do that, since there are quite a few insects outside. During night the mosquitos are fucking everywhere, so leaving a window open is possible, but it’s risky.
Ah. But that 35C was when it was above 40C. It was already extreme for northern europe.
If we ever head towards 50C, I suspect I’ll be dead before then, there’s always the basement. That’s ten or more degrees less than under the roof.
As climate change accelerates, and energy prices increase, we’ll have to adapt. Because when the power increasingly goes out, or when you end up paying hundreds per month on electricity, you’re fucked in a poorly insulated house even with AC.
It’s not environmentally friendly, it’s increasingly unaffordable, and it’s not sustainable on a societal level.
It’s never gone above 35C/95F
I think I speak for 99% of the people here when I say “FUCK THAT”
Some of us do enjoy hot weather. I hardly ever use my air conditioner.
That happens quite often for me inside, it really sucks. Not much I can do about it though.

would a remote screen and kb/mouse setup solve it?
The climate’s fucked and inflation is rampant.
You’re frankly better off getting used to the occasional hot day.
It’s hot, but you get used to it.
I’m not sure it will stay true in Europe. I think we might start to see more and more deadly heatwave, with temperatures to high to get used to it.
My view change on AC because of that, I used to think it was a luxury but it might become a necessity.
On the other hand fans can greatly improve the “efficiency” of AC, I’m comfortably sleeping with a fan and the AC thermostat setup at 28°C.
