Every summer I have to soak a big towel in water, use it as a blanket with a floor fan blasting at me on the highest setting. It's the only way I could sleep. Sometimes that wasn't enough and we're not talking particularly crazy temps. Anything above 23 centigrade is uncomfortable for me though. The best temp for me is about 19C xD

I fully understand what you mean. I also act In a similar way with wet towels and fans operating at full speed.

Quote:Anything above 23 centigrade is uncomfortable for me though.

Today marks the 8th consecutive day above 40 degrees Celsius.

Thankfully, the cool change Is expected tomorrow evening.

Correct, no AC.

Due to the motor/compressor affixed to the external part of the building, the body corporate does not allow Installing an AC. When the heat gets In, you can Imagine how hot It gets In a solid brick apartment.

Given the extreme temperatures, It probably does.

They use an Idiotic excuse, that the external building will look very ugly with every unit having a motor/compressor fixed to the wall. How's that for complete nonsense?

It seems that way In their eyes.

I bet they're nice and comfortable with the AC on In their luxury homes.

It may be worth It If every resident launched a law suit, but not everyone has thousands of dollars to spare.

That's also not permitted.

The rear of the AC will be sitting on the external window, which Is no different to being attached to the external brickwork.

The costs of pursuing something like this is ridiculous. Is there not a local council authority that it could be taken up with, or is this only lawsuit territory?

Oh, sorry, I meant the portable ones where the exhaust goes to the window. Not the one that is mounted in the window.



They're not the most ideal solution, but if they're allowed they might be worth a shot.

Yes, now I understand what you're referring to.

It Is actually allowed and I've borrowed one from a friend a while back, but given my apartment Is huge, It did very little to cool It down. Perhaps the unit Itself wasn't powerful enough, so I'll need to research whether there Is one suitable to the size of my living area.
