Germany has laws about requiring a certain heating level in the winter for safety and comfort reasons. I hope we can vote the CDU out next opportunity and talk about requiring a certain cooling level in the summer because it's dangerously hot in most apartments these days.
I won't rant about landlords here but like, if there isn't a law this change won't happen and people will die because of it. I can't imagine living in a Dachgeschoss right now. My last one got ~5-10 degrees hotter than outside.
There are legal limits above which you are allowed to withhold rent. I do not know them by heart since I live in a sunny but colder region of Germany.
So at some point the owner has to take measures to lower the temperature. Be it by installing better insulation or by installing AC. Also: you only have to prove it's too warm, the owner would need to prove you yourself are causing the heat, if they want to curb paying.
More insulation doesn't work. At some point it actively becomes more of a problem than a solution.
You HAVE to remove the heat inside some how or you just create an oven.
Insulation also prevents heat from entering
How much longer till we all die anyways
Hang in there our German brothers and sisters, the heat finally broke in NL last night.
Of course, it's still 26C and 80% humidity, so YMMV.
Apart from Global Warming, what explains the crazy high temperature? No wind? Too many mountains blocking weather? Why is it so hot?
Not having A/C, mainly.
It is a specific weather phenomenon called Heat Dome.
With what's harkening in the UK would that also be a heat dome? I only ask because that page says that it prevents precipitation but over here we've had hailstones 3 times and rain a whole bunch in very short bursts but once it stops it's dried up before the end of the hour and it's just as if not hotter than before.
i get to say this every year
but it's the coolest summer of the rest of our lives
This is El Nino, so ut might be less hot next year.
Seems like every day we're getting coolest day of the month
Great work!
Locally, not necessarily true. Globally, almost definitely.
Random afd fanboy: "that's just summer"
The neat thing is: It's a record high. It was literally never this hot before.
Not that these discussions are about facts at all, but now you have one to confront them with.
It may have been this hot when that asteroid hit, so I'm calling BS
