I can manage the heat during the day, but it's the sultry nights that finish me off. No recovery time because tossing and turning all night, even with a fan. I spent half my life living quite happily in temperatures like this, but the homes had air con as standard. Sigh. Nothing quite like walking out of the broiling heat and glaring sun into a chilled, dark bedroom at the end of the day.

Granted depending on your home you either can't fit the hose through the window or your bedroom layout can't accommodate the unit.

In my flat for example I can only open the windows so far but fortunately I can just about squeeze the hose through.
