Someone put up a tent on their balcony to escape their heat-trapping apartment during the night.

Third extended heat wave within 6 weeks.
The previous one exceeded 40°C, and the buildings not yet had time to completely cool down from that one before the third wave hit.
I was considering putting up a tent in my garden myself, but as I own a ground floor flat, the indoor temperatures did, with the help of some additional cooling measures, thankfully not exceeded 27°C.
I own one. The portable ones have a rather limited efficiency. Ours brought the air temperature down to 23-24°C in the sleeping areas during the daytime.
After switching it off for the night (the things are incredibly noisy...), temperatures quickly rose to 26-27°C again (at least at reduced humidity due to the AC).
And that was in a ground floor apartment...
And opening windows doesn't really help any more if the minimum outside temp still is >20°C during the night and the air is basically motionless.
I have a split one. And an obnoxious neighbour who smokes pot and complains a lot.
I also have pot smoking neighbours. But at least they are really nice!
(I get to eat all the crazy excess foodstuff they buy while getting the munchies... 😁 )
This lady (and I use the term loosely) smokes so much pot that she's become paranoid as hell. She doesn't eat. She only drinks vegetable smoothies.
Sounds like a reason to get some earplugs
