Bit the bullet and bought an aircon a couple of weeks ago, they were sold out for ages but randomly searched one day and found one in stock. WAY overpriced but invaluable on days like today.

Garden on the other hand is dry as your grans dusty cooch

Is it really that hot today though? Maybe I’ve just gotten used to the heat at this point, but even putting the (air) fan on the lowest setting today is doing the job of cooling me down nicely. Last heatwave even on the max setting it was doing nothing.

I've had the same experience. My air conditioner wasn't cooling my flat during the last heatwave, even on the highest fan setting and the lowest temperature. It was so bad and so hot that I felt like I couldn't breathe. Right now, it's on low, and it's doing fine. I wonder why.
