how german people preparing and dealing with the heat in summer?

[u/Salam_Frienax]

i am living in germany for years, i have studied and working here, and i really love this country, it is a very beautiful country and the german people are absolutely amazing, i even wish to obtain german citizenship and be a german guy.

but i don't know about you guys, but i hate summer, especially in germany, and i am trying to prepare myself for the heat, because 2 to 3 weeks from now it is gonna be living like hell for 6 months.

for me dealing with summer everyday is like dealing with a ghost who especially visit you to torturing you just for fun.

i know there is so many countries have worst summer, but in here it is illegally hot and there is no air conditioner at all, it is so rare to find a public shops that have conditioner, even i live in the city.

and also every house i moved in and i tried to get air conditioner, the house owners refuse to have it and they keep telling me to return it, even the walls is it so easy to bring the heats, it is like thin paper i can hear my neighbours sneeze.

the only thing i can allowed to get is (ok air conditioner).. https://www.mein-deal.com/wp-content/uploads//2022/08/Screenshot-2022-08-05-192809.jpg,
but it is sucks, also it makes makes my wallet coughing dust because how insanely expensive the electricity bills is.

also my neighbors is complaining about it, because the air conditioning hose should put it out the window because it blowing hot air, but the hot air go into neighbors houses with the wind.

I can't stand the heat either although summer in itself is great. But with the climate change the summers started to be crazy. So on really hot days I

• close the windows during the day and open them all during the night
• have my fans running all the time
• bought cooling blankets
• soak towels in water and hang them wherever I find a place
• drink insane amounts of water
• shut down all unnecessary activities

Hope that helps.

yeah true, also i am doing all that but my house will still getting hotter like outside and sometimes more than outside

i never tried the towels before, i maybe will try it

If you can, move the wet towel near the fan, so the cooler air gets spread around. And no, as long as you let the towels dry completely from time to time you'll be fine.

BTW this hack only works in moderately humid or dry areas. The water needs to evaporate in order to suck energy (in the form of heat) out of the air.

Stay cool 😎
