Feeling the heat at home? 🌞 Here’s a simple trick to cool your house during a heatwave without cranking up the AC! Say hello to ‘night flushing’—a technique that could help you keep cool and sleep better. 🤔
Content creator Georgina Bisby explains that our homes can trap heat like a battery, leaving rooms feeling warm even at midnight. Her advice? Stay ahead of the heat. 🌡️
Here’s how it works: As soon as a hot spell is on the cards, shut the sunlight out during the day and let cooler air in overnight. 🏠 Wait until the evening temperature drops below the indoor temp, then open your windows and create airflow through your house. Aim for after sunset and before sunrise when temperatures are coolest.
An indoor thermometer can be handy to monitor temperatures, ensuring those windows open at just the right time. 💨 Plus, don’t forget to check in on anyone who might be more vulnerable to high temperatures.
For more heatwave tips, the NHS recommends using electric fans if it’s below 35°C and keeping curtains and blinds closed by day.
