Up in the loft, where we spend our evenings and where we sleep, the temperature hit 93ºF by the end of the day. Up there we close the west-facing windows and the black-out blinds on them on afternoons like that.
Today a high of 98.6ºF — 37ºC — is predicted by Accuweather. MétéoFrance says it will "only" be 36ºC. The good news is that tomorrow's high is predicted to be just 26ºC — about 79ºF. We'll be able to breathe easy again.
Here's a map of our region, le Centre-Val de Loire, showing some of the temperatures predicted for this afternoon.
Geeze! It's one extreme or the other!
ReplyDeleteHave you guys thought of a ductless air conditioner? They can be wall mounted and are very popular in the Pacific Northwest where many homes were built without A/C. I don't think they're terribly expensive. Also see a lot here in SoCal where homes were built without air near the beach, but now need it.
ReplyDeleteKen does not like AC :)
DeleteAhhh I get it. I grew up in Texas, so I had to make peace with AC at an early age, LOL.
