HEAT IN POLAND (with no air-condition)

OK - most poeple here should know there is HOOOOT in Poland right now (and has been for the last couple of weeks). More than 100 degrees a day. How do Poles deal with the heat? I've heard there are few private homes that even have air conditioning facilities. Must be terrible.

We just open the windows are all set.. .

It`s the worst heatwave since 227 years - but It`s not so terrible.

As said, you just have to open the window..

So why aren't air-conditioners in Poland? It's not that expensive I think..

Why should someone an airconditioning if you can just open the window or/and use a fan on days like these ?

Beside there are regulations that are forbiding change/degrade the elevation of appartment flats, which would be nesesary to install airconditioning in a flat. And when it comes to individual houses, as said before - I see no point in installing airconditioning if I can open a window.

In the US when there's heat and you open the window it doesn't help at all because of the high humidity...

A few days ago I shipped a "portable" air conditioner to my family in Poland; it can be used both as a cooler and a heater. That should help go thru these weather anomalies.

Here when it`s hot it`s also very dry - which is also important if you travel outside town to take some mineral water with you if you go out of town.

That is true here in the U.S it has been over 100 degrees also and so humid, even in California where I live and we are not used to it, This humid hot weather reminds me when I lived in Louisiana, now thats HOT!

ON the long run having air-conditioners even in Poland will be a way to go..
