we just aren't used to it and it's always in with a bang and gone again - no time to acclimatise

Very true - the first year is the hardest

 

[Routy56]

still got two 12" going, circulating the air in the house - doors wide open and the windows - proper glass thermometer outside on the wall says 23C and the c/heating thermo says 22.8C .. gonna be a warm night

Ditto - windows and doors open at night/evening. Then shut during the heat of the day. Loads of fans deployed.
Hitting 30-33c here in NE Essex during the day
But we have got a very nice mobile A/C unit in the south facing front bedroom.
Pump the hot air directly out of the 6" hole drilled into the wall (rather than use a window kit)
With the reflective foil, we can keep the temperature at a comfortable 20c

Thanks gra ,been woken about 3.15ish twice ,that's what it is

 

[DaveDCB]

Are they cloud seeding in the middle of the nighttime now?

 

[diggerjones]

Can air sourse be used to cool houses, think I read it somewhere

Yes you run it in reverse.

track on flight radar?

louder and a lot lower than usual - presumably climbing? much noisier than a daytime flight ... strangely no nav lights to be seen so could possibly have been military ?? No wonder I get woken up

Are they cloud seeding in the middle of the nighttime now?

who knows ..... but explain this one to me yesterday afternoon - on, then off, trail - headed Bob's way
can't tell me that is not 'suspicious'

.. lot of trails in the blue yonder yesterday, late afternoon ...... over cast all day today after a cloudless sky for days

So what the feckers up to

a damned good question

that's cool .... one over at the right time, but not three .. and the other just after 4 ...... loads headed east 4.30 on
-- ah -- forgot to add an hour on so yeh three at the right time

 

[Lancs Lad]

Looks like your on a "heavies" flight path between US and EU. If Bristol is on nightime curfew which I suspect, it may mean altered routing during the night. Maybe

If it's military relax ...and be thankfull we've still got some

As for cloud seeding ..fret not it's all up here.
18c and rain last night and this morning's hardly warm enough for the windows open

 

[Canal Navvy]

Must have been cloud seeding, looking up last evening you could see that it had been drilled in lines and some of the baby clouds had sprouted already. Someone said that they could see drill misses ......fools obviously skylark strips

 

[DaveDCB]

Yes you run it in reverse.

Our aircon does hot and cold

Big difference between an air source heat pump boiler and an A/C unit though

Yea, I’m half considering air source heat on the next new builds , oil boilers are a faf and no one around here installs them anymore

 

[Stroppymonkey]

Yes you run it in reverse.

If its Air to Air (A2A) then yes usually easy to run both ways. If its Air to Water then not possible unless the system designed that way, I have yet to come across a UK system built for cooling, but I expect to see it more in the future. Condensation can them become your enemy if using air to water to cool. We have Air Con in the office.. and its lovely
