It’s a sweltering 35 degrees Celsius in my bedroom this afternoon! I made this discovery when I opted for some fresh air, shutting the A/C off, and opening the windows. Within 12-15 minutes the temperature had shot from 26C to 35C. Ughh! Not good.
Getting by during the day is simple enough: I have the A/C going, and do a good job of putting back as many iced drinks as I can, but it’s a real bitch at night. I avoid sleeping with the air conditioning on because this particular unit leaves me with a throbbing sinus headache in the morning. Most Bucharest nights demand that you keep the windows shut too, or choke on the chemicals that factories all over city pump out under cover of darkness.
A 28-30C sweatbox is not the ideal sleeping environment. I’m a rather restless sleeper most nights — I sleep soundly, but my body moves around a lot — but when the temperature gets above 25C I might as well be doing the hokey pokey.
