Too hot

Yesterday was the second hottest day here in São Paulo since records began. Today it feels even worse. The temperature indoors in my apartment was 32°C in the afternoon and this morning at 9:30 it was already 30°C indoors. It´s over 37°C outside.

I walked to the studio and back this morning, very slowly and trying to keep to the shade but I think I´ll avoid going out for the rest of the week while this heat wave lasts, it is just unbearable out there. Last night I slept with the fan on all night otherwise I wouldn´t have been able to get any sleep.

Unfortunately I can´t install conventional air conditioning as there can be no external additions to the building (for aesthetic reasons, for heavens sake!). The only AC I could have is a portable one and since my flat is mostly open plan it wouldn´t be effective. So fans are the answer, although at the moment they are blowing hot air! It´ll all end with another tremendous storm, I suppose.
