Hi there, time to share ways to keep your home cool during hot times

So ok, usual ways I use:

  • open everything during night
  • close everything during day
  • external sheets on windows without shutters
  • some curtains to prevent heat from going upstairs

I was also wondering if plants could also help inside, any ideas ?

Share your advices !

    Fair enough. Most of Japan is hotter in summer than northern Europe. Here it has been 35C for much of the last week and domestic AC penetration remains extremely low. There are also quite few fat people, and the two things are probably at least a little bit connected.

      I don’t disagree that people who are overweight will feel hotter. The rainy season makes it feel hotter than just the temperature here, too. Buildings here are probably more poorly insulated, too.
