How to keep your home cooler in the heat – tips for comfortable living

Published:

When the outdoor temperature rises significantly, it is important to try to keep the indoor temperature at a comfortable level using the available means. It is worth trying the following measures, for example:

  • keeping blackout curtains or blinds closed when the sun is shining directly into the windows
  • opening the balcony glazing so that the high temperature on the balcony does not affect the indoor temperature
  • keeping the balcony door and windows closed when the outdoor air is warmer than the indoor air
  • ventilating in the evening or at night, aiming to create a cross-breeze through the apartment
  • using heat-generating household appliances or the apartment sauna with consideration during hot weather
  • considering to get a fan or a cooler. For example, a damp towel from the freezer placed around you overnight or a bowl of ice cubes in front of a fan can work well for cooling.

Also remember to drink enough water during hot weather.
