This is going to be a rough summer

If you live in europe, please check in with your elderly neighbours. Hot temperatures can be deadly for old people
Europe needs to normalize air conditioning. I'll never forget the most miserable summer of my life was in germany. Summer gets hot there just like most other places, but in Europe, domiciles don't have AC 🥵
This will probably start to change if this is now the reality but at least historically the reason Europe didn't have air conditioning was it wasn't worth it for the 4 days of the year that it would be used.
The other reason being that houses won't design to be air conditioned, we don't have ducted heating so if I bought an air conditioner and had it installed in a room it would air condition that room, if I wanted air conditioning in my house I would have to have a unit fitted in each room, that's going to get expensive. Alternatively I could buy this £15 fan from Lidl.
I have medical documentation saying I need adequate temperature control and I have offered my landlord to pay all costs associated with installing AC and still they banned me from having AC 😭.
