      Good luck. I went there last July during a heat wave and it was 38 most days. They’re absolutely not equipped to handle that. My hosts did what they do when it’s cold and sealed up all the windows and doors. Now I live in a hot climate in the US and it took me days to convince them that you need to open the doors and windows and get air moving. The idea was entirely foreign to them.

        It works if you open doors at night to cool the house off but seal it before the sun heats the air up

        Humidity is the issue where I live. Gotta close windows and have dark curtains or your house fills up with warm air from outside.

        Best place in a flat or appartment building is the cellar, because air never mixed and cool air pools down

        We do have better insulation here, especially with modern homes you’re better off closing doors and windows during the day and opening them by night.

          I second this. I live in southern Romania. It goes up to 42 in the summer here. 35 or over daily for weeks at a time. My building is built like a tank
