Hi there, time to share ways to keep your home cool during hot times

So ok, usual ways I use:

  • open everything during night
  • close everything during day
  • external sheets on windows without shutters
  • some curtains to prevent heat from going upstairs

I was also wondering if plants could also help inside, any ideas ?

Share your advices !

    People in hot climates do not sit outside. They also do not open their windows. Because they’re not insane.

      In hot and dry climates, a breeze in a shady place works well, actually. In humid places it’s harder.

      That actually has results counterintuitive to temperate people when it comes to clothing. Arabs don’t just cover up for modesty.
