Cool Off!
 
A few ways to go forth & cool off:

1. spray the roof with water repeatedly
2. put a fan in the window during the evening, it blows in outside air that's cooler

I'll leave more for you...

Tell the gf she has put weight on during lockdown and wait for the cold
shoulder.

You kept quiet about it so far, or you're speaking from experience?

The first one is hardly practical, and the second one does not work these
last few nights as the temperature difference is simply not there.

Well it might make a fraction or two difference to the temperature in
the loft.

Think I'd go for a fan upstairs in a south facing window blowing out
to extract any warm air along with 5. below. But take note of air
flow caused by the prevailing wind. You want air in from the cool
north.

3. Keep windows/doors (internal and external) closed during the day.

4. Draw curtains and/or close blinds and/or shutters on the hot south
facing sides of the house during the day.

5. Once the external temperature has dropped open windows on the
cooler north side.

6. Have a house with 20 tonnes of thick stone wall running through
the middle of it to absorb any excess heat that gets in.

3. Go out in the drive and sleep in the caravan. The heavy fabric of
buildings will release lots of heat during the night, making it warmer
indoors than it need be. A caravan's fabric store very little heat, so
they are much cooler to sleep in than a bricks and mortar building.

4. Take a cool shower before bed and don't dry off, go to bed still
wet, if it is really hot.

5. Fill a hot water bottle, with iced water, or take freezer packs to
bed wrzpped in a towel.

For flat roofs it helps a lot. I wouldn't use it on sloping lofted roofs.

blowing in or out have mostly the same result. The upside of blowing in is the coolness is concentrated in one room.


3. Keep windows/doors (internal and external) closed during the day.


totally depends on the house & current temps whether you want it open or closed at any time.

Well this thread context is summer and it hot outside and requirement
to keep inside cooler. If people are daft enough to not draw curtains
etc thus letting lots of radiant heat in, then opening doors and
windows to "let the heat out", the best they can achieve is making
the house the same temp as outdoors.

Curtains drawn and widows/doors closed up keeps a place cooler.

Especially when the van floats away on a torrent of floodwater like
some people are getting.

Not here is Sussex though, where is the frigging rain ????

Shut doors and windows and leave de-humidifier running then use regular
electric fans.
Poor mans air-con.

You could have dropped a hint, like 'the bed seems to be
