I feel its reality. It's 03:00 and still too fucking hot north of that..

Looks legit. We'll have up to 33-36 in Vienna this week.

So is that some sort of unheard of temperature in central Europe?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Recall that European countries, particularly the bits above say Spain and Italy are largely places with no at home a/c.

Moreover, my building doesn't permit the installation of a proper A/C because of its protected status and the noise associated with it. Best I can do is a mobile one which is highly ineffective in terms of cooling and energy consumption. Besides, the real issue are the meter thick brick walls in my building which conduct and store heat quite well. When heat breaks, my apartment will cool off by 1° per day (unless we get a heavy rain).

Is this for real:

Some days ago some German medium was joking about the coolest place in Europe being Portugal, literaly.  :lol:

Syt's building needs heat pumps.

It's also hot in America but the only thing without A/C I go to is the inside of my car.

Parisians will be headed to Nice to cool off.

You don't have A/C in your car? I would consider that a health hazard.

This summer has been pretty bad even by our obscene standards. At least we have gotten some rain.

I can't do real a/c either as I don't have windows that open in the right way to have an inserted unit (well I do in my bedroom but there are bars on those that would prevent installation of a unit).

Sometimes, it is. It's a mistake I will not make again.

Several stories about that lack of AC in the news right now because hardly any hotels in Copenhagen has AC not even the expensive ones so tourists are complaining, also the sick are complaining that no hospitals have it not even the newly build ones.

All the major papers are running stories about how to sleep in the heat. Summer is coming and we are unprepared.

I think we have reached that time of the year when I start thinking wistfully about October.
