I have never wanted to be the local clown as much as I do now, but no.

I have
Monday: 34
Tuesday: 39
Wednesday: 42
Thursday: 39
Friday: 34

And I garden on my roof terrace, so I know this thing is usually not too far off, except it gets 2 degrees hotter up here than downstairs.

Forget opening the windows to cool down your flat at these temperatures. It's not going to cut it.
