We seem to be breaking new records constantly at the moment.

Scientists found evidence that climate change made the warmer weather last month more likely.

Get ready for the same headline next year and evey year after. I can't cope with UK heat, absolutely dreading it.

Yeah it's the same headline almost every month, every year. The heat we currently have in a humid climate and without air con isn't very fun. I'm assuming everyone will be fitting air con in the next few years.

I've started installing ceiling fans in my house and they make a world of difference.

I hope I never have to get air con installed, it just eats through electric.

If your windows are compatible, it could be a good idea to pre-emptively buy a window ac. They are pretty efficient and it's not a crazy amount of energy to just cool one room (bedroom probably). The trick is to only use it when necessary and set the temp to 26-28C.

Are those the ones literally installed into your window space?
