Thats nice for you, we also have highs of 36C, but I live on the top floor of an apartment and the temperature in my living room at its coldest today was 26C. Thats using shutters and awnings as early as it makes sense to, opening all windows and doors as soon as the outside temperature drops below inside, sleeping with everything open so we wake up at dawn, nobody's home during the day, and by the time its cool enough to open the windows its 30C inside.

So I just ordered a new AC. Yes its bad for the environment, but not as bad as if I would drive even an electric car to work.

Roof apartments are the pits. There's a reason people don't want to rent them!
