First, once you got up to 35 C (PLUS)....for about 10 days in a row (meaning 95 F)....yeah, you had to take drastic measures.
Shutters got closed at 11 AM....brought the AC unit up from the basement and ran for 10 hours per day....sipped through 4 lemonades in the afternoon....stayed mostly in the shade.
Then the heat wave ended.....getting back to 25 to 30 C for two weeks.
Yesterday ended the 2nd heat wave (going to 34 C for three days). Cooling trend now for 10 days.
There's probably one more heat wave by the end of August.
Biggest negative? I have to listen daily to the German wife talk about climate change, American SUVs, the great evil triggered by Trump, and mankind's spiral.
You can assume that about 25-percent of German society is opening up a discussion about buying a 3,000 Euro AC unit. Half of them will buy the unit by March of 2027.....then discover that 2027 only brings four days of HOT weather for the upcoming year, and the AC unit was a total waste.
