Open Your Windows NOW

[Scousemousey]

AIBU to suggest
Now (whilst it's cool) is the time to open all your windows and let the fresh air in.

Give it an hour, and close them, and close your blinds or curtains in any sun facing windows.

This public service broadcast is over. Thank you.

Done!

I panicked at the capitalisation. Then realised I already have.

Thank you for reminding me though, I MIGHT HAVE SUFFOCATED if you hadn't.

I did it haha. Love it!

Well, normally I’d agree with you, but there have been people on several threads since the warm weather started who are complaining about the heat indoors, but who appear to never open their windows, so it doesn’t appear to compute for everyone.

THANK YOU 😊

Absolutely not. My hayfever won’t thank me. Maybe this evening after it’s cooled down again and hayfever meds are all in full effect.

I find opening the windows only cools me down a little in the evenings. Barely worth it.

I already have cos it’s 1 May and I wanted to let the summer in.

Windows fully open early in the morning, curtains and blinds closed during the day, windows open again when the sun goes in. Standard warm weather protocol.

Back to being Baltic here so windows firmly closed!

You do not live in Northern Ireland apparently, cloudy and cool this morning.

No thanks we are only getting 14 today also rain ahhh sunny Scotland I'm well jealous of yous

I used to have windows open for at least 2 hours a day, year round, even in freezing temperatures.. Until I got an infestation of insects that came in through the windows on one side of the house. So now, sadly, the rooms that were worst affected stay firmly closed. Which I hate. I love a good clearing out of fresh air.

Great idea. Thanks, by the way where do you live?

Keep your loft hatch open if you have one. Roofs have ventilation and as the heat rises it will allow some of it to escape rather than build up.

Thanks for the advice, it always amazes me that people don't air their houses anyway. I always have a window open even through the winter (for at least an hour) .

Are you German? 😁

In the south East the hottest part of the day seems to about 5pm, yet all my neighbours seem to open their windows at that time?! Guys it’s 28c outside 23c inside, why invite the warm in?

I would but there are swarms and swarms of green flies surrounding us today. I had to drop my daughter to school with my mouth firmly closed and am currently picking them out of my hair.

It’s nice to get fresh air. But It’s not hot enough to warrant such urgent action.

Agreed! Although my very old, damp and always cold cottage is actually really cool anyway so this is the kind of weather we live for. Except for the flies. You're never far from a chicken farm in Devon. 😬

Didn't need telling, they'd been open overnight.

Have you tried this?

Just remembered to shut my back blinds before the sun comes over

Pollen screen would have to be so fine it wouldn't actually let any air in. You'd need a fan assisted one
