Living on the 4th floor (5th if you're An American)with a balcony and living room windows facing southeast is normally a treat, until you encounter 35° c and higher. The Sun starts warming the place at 10 in the morning and goes on until it disappears below thu horizon between 8 and 9 in the evening. I close the place down at 10AM and look for shade, ice cream or apple juice. If the indoor temperature stays below 30, it's livable, but a warm, dark cave is for the winter bear. The Summer bear needs to move, albeit slowly.
It's a far cry from my previous existence of air conditioned cars, offices, and houses, but sandals, cotton and linen clothes, and a straw hat are environmentally friendlier and they leave me with enough spare change to buy LOTS of ice cream!
