They are designed to absorb and keep heat in which is fine normally but not in a heatwave. Which will be happening more and more in the future.

fightoffyour Posted July 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 20, 2021 A cooler sub-20C say in Poland today with a sprinkling of rain in the air was a very welcome relief. Might even use the duvet tonight if I can find it. Back up to the high 20s again from tomorrow for the foreseeable though, which I love apart from when trying to sleep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you sending your bank details to an African Prince to help him get his money out of his country before the evil Government took it off him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree, like I said I've got brise soleil, I've also got double opening windows and timber floors What I have got though is about 800mm thick concrete external walls so I have to keep the heat out cos once it's in its in, great for the winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be panicking about the water level rising rapidly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
