Honestly, this historic heat dome across the West is really hard to put into words for me. Temperatures over 110°F (43°C) in March, shattering all-time monthly records on multiple consecutive days, and not just by a little.

➡️ I can confirm this is human-caused climate change.

And now both of us OOW with no A/C for the third year and definitely-counting. Sweet. 😐
Radiant heat is the bastard of it all. Can feel the heat pulse from the walls into the rooms, pushing from all sides.
I'm turning the room furthest from any direct sun into a compartmentalized cool room for the pets and us.

@GGMcBG @ZLabe If you can afford it, get window shutters so you won't have direct sunlight heating up the glass.

@gunchleoc @GGMcBG @ZLabe And/or, plant some foliage outside the window that does (or will grow to) provide some shade in helpful seasons.
