I hear that it is kinda very warm novadays in Southern England. We had a hot period for 3 weeks straight, the walls got warm, so I had to sleep with open window, which means I had to listen to the passing cars, and sleep almost nude, without blanket.
If all goes well, I will get Air Condition in my bedroom tomorrow. It is fucking expensive, but we buy the best available. Due to that, I will completely run out of money by the end of this month.
Dude is buying air-conditioning worth the cash? I mean, it'll only be summer for a couple of months now, and then you won't need it again for half a year.
Well, not worth it in England. I am from Hungary, which is way more south (and east) compared to England. We often have hot periods in the summer, so it does worth it, in my opinion. England has a totally different climate, it is cooler in the summer, and warmer in the winter due to the closeness of the sea/ocean. We are mainland, so it is much more volatile here.
It is like asking: Do you need heating in the winter? It is only a couple of months, and then you don't need it for half a year. Normally insulated houses don't go below freezing point not even here, where we have sub-zero temperatures and snow often. One could live without it, wearing coats at home. But still, heating is common, while air condition is still not. But it really goes down to the climate of the place where you live.
In the office we have air conditioning, and it is used through months in the summer. So, it is nice to have it at home, too. And Air-conditioning is a long term inverstment, if it goes right, you don't need to replace it for 10+ years. It only needs maintenance, and electric power.
