In response to "We've been using portable AC units and the one for our living room just can't hack it. We have side sliding windows and there aren't many options" by Krusty

I spent a heatwave in NYC a few decades ago. Miserable. No AC. Being naked was still not enough. -- nm

I remember a summer in Baltimore where I had to take a cold shower and get in bed wet with a fan blowing on me every 2-3 hours to get thru the night. -- nm - Dano Jun 6, 16:57 1

I spent one in the late 90s, and there was a garbage strike. We lived above a Chinese restaurant. Try to imagine the smell of squid - loosilu Jun 6, 16:44
I just took a really cool shower hoping it would help. It helped a bit but I'm just sitting here wishing we had a better AC unit. I looked at those - Krusty Jun 6, 16:19 10
- I have to assume you have tried closing the doors to other rooms, and sleeping in the living room. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 16:48 3
  - The bedroom is the best room but we can't hangout there. The living room has a west facing window that just roasts the room in the afternoon. - Krusty Jun 6, 16:56 2
    - gotcha. It seriously sucks. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 16:57 1

- Effing landlords. Also check into some pretty powerful fans, freeze some damp towels, etc. -- nm - IAmQale Jun 6, 16:20 5
  - We have very high humidity so that might not work as well as in other places. I have fans going as well. I'm doing everything I can. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jun 6, 16:53 3
    - high humidity. hahahahhha -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 16:59 2
      - Are you saying we don't? Sure other places get high humidity too but it's rather bad here as well. - Krusty Jun 6, 17:05 1
        
        having lived in NYC and DC, the humidity part is suckier in DC. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 19:01
  - wet towel over a fan. Also, open windows strategically to make a wind tunnel. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 16:50
