To think that heatwaves are a big deal?

I'm in my bedroom with the fan full blast but it's just blowing warm air. I live in an 'eco' house so it is always hotter inside than outside. It's 19c outside but 30c in my bedroom. The house is HA. I think they should provide air conditioning whether a small unit or the whole house. I have never been this hot before.

I have a congenital heart condition and tend to faint when I’m hot. You are being ridiculous.
Buy fans yourself.

It has been warm but not that hot. You don't need air con in these temperatures - you need to learn how to keep your house cool in other ways. Eg windows open all night and allow the cooler air to circulate. Windows and curtains closed during the day when it's hot outside.

Depends where you are, it's been 30 where I live today ,that's pretty hot.

I've kept everything shut up today which has helped loads. Did contemplate sleeping outside on the garden sofa, it's a lovely temperature out there at the moment but was worried about being bitten.

Open the windows and let some of that cool air in!

Just buy a small portable AC unit if you want AC.

Surely if you open all the windows it will cool down if the air outside is cool now?
