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 !

    as someone from a similar place, mosquitoes make opening windows at night a health hazard, unless you install netting.

    I should be getting to do that…

      Yeah the mozzy mesh is a life saver, for both mosquitoes and flying termite/ant swarm after rain, but do keep in mind that meshes will restrict some air flow. Still, it’s better than nothing, and combine with that rooftop onion you might get better result.
