The heat is unbearable!!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Randi,

Can you tell me why Europe doesn't use screen windows on houses and
apartments?

What exactly do you mean by "screens"? Do you have a picture of those?

You can see temperature conversions here - plus a lot of other conversions.

LOL! Lut, do you remember the Blinds thread? I think Koxka posted pictures of the ones they have in Spain. I really would like those, they completely shot out the heat and at the same time you get a brise coming in - provided there's any wind.

Liz, I think that when they built the houses here, they never foresaw that summers would get his hot here - or more like it, they build houses which had much thicker walls back in those days.

We had a little shower this morning and the temperature has dropped considerably.

Thanks Randi. My house (older style) has plaster walls & it does hold
temperature very well, but screens also keep out flying insects & birds.
I'm glad you finally got some showers to cool thigs off.

We are still waiting for the rain. The city has now banned all outside water
usage.

p.s. I try to use a heavy grade mesh in the windows where the kitties
hang out. So far, so good.
