I am from Eastern Europe and this is the hottest summer on my memory. For at least 3 consecutive years the heat is breaking all records.

This stuff is unbearable, I can't even play video games on my laptop, because it warms up very fast and the keyboard becomes uncomfortable for me to use.

So, could you please share any useful tips on how do you survive the summer?

Most heat gets in through windows facing the sun. I cover the worst with aluminium foil (tin foil).

Also bans all the evil rays! Pew pew pew…

damn that's pretty genius, although, doesn't the tin foil or the pocket between the window heat up?

Works best on the outside, but also on the inside it’s a very effective cheap solution.

Would recommend to fix with painters tape.
