In a lot of places in Switzerland it is going to be hot this weekend, what are your ‘tricks’ to keep cool?

I’m not in Switzerland right now, but I open all the windows when/ if it gets cooler at night, and then close them and the shades in the morning.

Anything to keep the heat of the day outside where it belongs.

It really depends on what you’re used to. You look like having around 35c this weekend, that’s just normal summer weather for Australia.

I’d use the aircon or if you don’t have that, a fan. Make sure you stay hydrated. If it’s too hot, go to a shopping center or a movie which is most likely going to have aircon.

35 is nice, I’d have more trouble coping with your winters I think.

I thought that might be the case, not even at the shops? Everyone has it in Australia.

There is bunch of regulations that makes it hard to get permission to install it. People rarely have it in their homes. At commercial buidlings its more common.

Also it was not really neccessary in the past.

Adapting to the the heat is probably the main reason. I’m just not used to the hot weather.

Swim in the Aare and, hear me out, hot tea.

I saw it in hot dry countries, there they drink tea and since I started to do the same, I can tackle the heat way better.

Wow never knew that, gotta try it out, thanks. When do you drink the hot tea, during the day?

Yes, trough out the day, one to two cups while it is the hottest.
