The Fun Factory Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 It's got to the stage after the heatwave that your house is about 7 degrees warmer than what is outside. So you are wearing shorts in your house and actually feel a bit cold when you go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's really hot the worst thing to do is open all windows. Obviously open them again when the temperature outside drops and let the cool air in.

I bascially had all my windows closed during the day all week, and open a bit during the night. It's mid terrace so if the nights don't drop the heat just builds and builds.

dubbs Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Did anyone else in the Midlands think it was stupidly hot and humid last night? The air just felt so heavy. Mind you there's COVID in the house at the moment so the buggers better not have infected me Today is significantly more comfortable tbf but wouldn't it be nice to have summers which lasted weeks and months like when we were kids instead of these blasts of heat which can become unbearable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nor-Cal Villan Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 (edited) Watch how a father’s risky plan to save his house from the Park Fire paid off Quote Mike Waltz was at his office in Chico, Calif., on an afternoon last month when he decided it was time to go. He made calls to his wife Amy and their two sons, Gage and Bennet: The fire was coming, and their home was at risk. The Park Fire was first reported at 2:52 p.m. on July 24 in Upper Bidwell Park, just east of Chico. The flames took off at a staggering pace, consuming 5,000 acres per hour after first igniting. High winds and dry conditions fueled what would become one of the fastest growing fires in California history. Weeks later, the wildfire is still burning. By 4 p.m. the Waltz family gathered at their home in the wooded foothills northeast of Chico to prepare for the worst. The mandatory evacuation order went out soon after. As Amy and their 19- and 22 year-old sons wrangled the family pets and packed two cars with go-bags and supplies, Mike put into action a plan he had developed for just this situation: an extensive fire defense system he created to protect his home from a wildfire’s destructive blaze. I kind of know this person, more a case of a friend of friends. Been to house concerts a couple of times at this very house. They live about 10 miles away Edited August 16 by Nor-Cal Villan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was, and after having had a couple more sherberts than I should have it was most unwelcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
