It's too hot in the garden, even in the shade...

    Houses in portugal in the Douro are cleverly designed to be cool in summer e.g. no ceilings allowing air to circulate through the rooms, windows facing away from the afternoon sun and a few other clever tricks.
    Whereas in the UK all house windows and gardens face south if they can.
    get your crack team of builders in to either fit air con or brick the windows up

      Have got aircon machines but am seriously considering built-in air-con in at least the master bedroom.

        That's mean.

        He can just moved to a room that is East or North facing and he should be cooler.

        After all he claims his house is big enough.

          I was going to suggest you take solace in your shed - whoop eco office , but I guess that would be even hotter.

            It's very annoying how slight the difference can be too. Warm becomes cold if there's a breeze or too hot if you have to walk up a hill. Our back yard is a sun-trap so even in February if it's sunny you end up a bit too warm sitting outside.

            Though it's rained all day here so I don't feel that sorry for you. No doubt you have a nice Dyson fan to keep you cool and your wallet empty.

                Try reading the thread title, I said it's too hot in the garden.
                Jeez, the amount of cretins around here.

                  If it's too hot fans can blow warm air over you.

                    If you're sweating it still cools you down though though evaporation effects. Though if you're actively sweating, it's too hot anyway.
