Is AC becoming more common in Europe with record setting high temps?

In Germany/Austria/Switzerland they believe AC causes cancer or some shit

Why are Europeans so poor? They seriously can't even afford an AC?

>Why are Europeans so poor?
A question as old as time itself.

not even hot, that shit makes you weak anyway

Seriously why are they so fucking poor lol. Can't even afford an AC, they drive some shitty little hatchback

They simply don't appreciate comfort. They say "oh it's only 4 or 5 hot days a year" but we know better, they suffer in their apartments and pretend not to

lol nice

poorfags

What about window units?
You basically just pay $500 and put it in your window

this, weather is tame in europe compared to the US

Didn't they get 100+f days over there?

ive always had AC and most people I know do too. I assume it's the same for southern europe
is this meme entiree based on northern europe or what

They're very uncommon here, I can't even find a single one when I search for ACs on amazon.
But when looking specifically for window ACs, there are a few for 500 euros.

But there are problems with that:
Most windows here open with a hinge, similar to a door. That means you can't slide a window panel on top to seal the airflow. It wouldn't work with those windows.
And second, I'm not sure how they are secured, but most people in cities don't live on ground level.
If they do fall out for some reason, they will fall on the sidewalk and possibly kill someone. So I have a feeling that even if they are very secure, there's probably still a law against that.

Friend of mine lives in Austria and said AC for home is very rare.
He got a portable AC because they're not allowed to have window units

really difficult, i live in one of the hottest areas in italy and it just gets a bit below that, tops, for a couple days
personally the problem is when night temp doesnt go below 30°, then i cant sleep and i will start suffering, but after a couple days you adapt

Window AC's usually has a bracket that supports the weight of the unit.
There's some AC's that are designed to to be balanced enough that you don't need to screw in a bracket.

What about portable AC units....you could make these work with odd windows

>the problem is when night temp doesnt go below 30°
I doubt such a thing ever happens.

>2019
>not having portable AC units for less than 600 dollars.

What the fuck are you guys even doing?

Those get sold. I actually have one of those.
They're vastly inferior to proper ACs though.
I also don't like how I have to attach/disattach every time I want to use it.
And they take so much space and look ugly, also loud as fuck.
In the end, yeah it works, but a split AC would be so much better.

happens 4-5 days over the whole summer here, weather reason and whatnots, the air stays still for days and days and the temp just rises
then a storm arrives, destroys everything, and you can sleep again

for like a week, nothing too bad

Tell me the name of your city and the date of the last time it happened, we will check actual meteorological measurements.

Wait, Euros don't have AC? Not even southern Euros?

Got a vornado air circulator.
Set it up on the opposite side of the room and point it so it's blowing above the ac
Those portable acs have really shitty air movement so they can't really cool a room effectively

No, you'd need it for like 3 weeks of the year where I live and then you ate stuck with this ugly thing for the rest of the year

You get additional break if the temparature inside your workplace is above 30 c. Also you have to be provided with drinking water

can only tell you what the termometer of my room said
he said "nigga buy an ac"
simple as
the metereological station is located far from here and cover a big area, it's not representative of everything

>mfw americans love ac so much that they often have one in every room in there home

They were never instilled with the proper fear of the Fan

A thermometer in a room at night can drop below 30 if you simply open the window. It's cooler outside, you know?

Peoppe bought so many of them that we've reached record levels of electrical consumption lel

not in those nights, i stayed up all night and checked the temp once too many times
after a prolonged period of sun the walls become hot, and during night, while the temp drops a bit, they release what they absorbed and the temperature stays high and there's no wind at all so no air comes in
when wind starts it's ok, but as long as the air is still there's no escape
go being a genius somewhere else, you live in a natural freezer and don't know how plains works

just buy a heat pump lmao

I grew up in a place that has average maximum temperatures of 38 during July and I know a fair bit about meteorology. Having minimum temperatures above 30 is death valley tier and no place in Italy is that hot. Tell me where you live and I'll show you how wrong you are.

anywhere in the middle of pianura padana, far from sea or mountains or rivers
you know jack shit about meteorology and your smoked salmon sucks

Let's take Piacenza for example, not a single night above 23 this year. You are full of shit mate.

If you’re actually too poor for an A/C Eurofags.
Try this. Some guy at college said you can make a substitute a/c using fans.

have you seen european electricity prices?

They probably get a bunch of taxes on the electricity bill. France is pushing a stupid fuel tax too. Europeans love to tax everything.

it's almost as if the fact that the meteorological station is placed outside the city impacted that in some sort of manner, and that multiple local misurations might be more accurate than a single misuration for a 100km area...really makes you think...
i dont care what you think man, this is how it is, whether you like it or not
come here a summer, then talk again, you know shit and that's it

I couldn't live in Italy or Spain without an AC but it's pointless to have one here

>this is how it is
That's how you think it is, and you are totally wrong, you are as stupid as those idiots that say "But we have like 35 and 100% humidity every day during summer!". No they don't, that's a deadly combination, it will literally cook you to death with your own metabolism and that actually only ever happened once in Saudi Arabia, it's the world record for the highest dew point ever registered.

Now, let's continue with you. UHI can not account for such big differences, we are talking about 3 or maybe 4 extra degrees at most, you'd still need minima of 26 or 27 which are very high as well. And to properly measure temperature in a reliable and reproducible manner you need much more than a simple thermometer laying around the house, the WMO has entire chapters in several books dedicated exclusively to this topic. And that's without taking into account that temperatures don't change that much over the scale of some kilometers unless the orography of the terrain also changes, something that doesn't happen in the Po valley. Besides, as if there wasn't a relatively dense network of stations to draw data from. Choose the ones you prefer: ogimet.com/cgi-bin/gsynres?state=Ital&osum=no&fmt=html&ord=REV&ano=2019&mes=08&day=08&hora=00&ndays=1&Enviar=Ver

Also, it's measurement, not "misuration".

Jesus. My work (I work at a Target) Forces the fucks who work outside to bring carts back in. Our uniforms are black pants and they’re forced to stay outside without additional breaks. We had 5 bastard pass out from heat stroke the other day

never said that, and the day temp isn't (relatively) much higher than night so we don't get it that hot that often (that little shit splash in north italy might give you a hint), anyway
you are failing to understand that if i go out in the corn field near my house, the temp will drop by a few degrees compared to the inside of the house obviously, but that won't stop my room being 30° despite all the windows that i open because there's no fucking wind and yes, multiple termometers in my house will be more reliable in misurationmenting the temp of my room, compared to the weather station 30 km from my house
jesus, i don't even know if you are an autist or im falling for bait

and here is an official min temp of 26°, if that makes you happier (real time meteo showed higher at the time tho, max was also at 37°)

No one wants to invest in something they'll use for one week a year.

and another one with 27°, a few days before (this is late june)
think that's enough to legitimate a room temp of 30°, to you?

That map is just average temperature, not diurnal temperature variation, otherwise some areas would always have very high values and none would have negative ones. If the windows are open and the temperature outside is lower the temperature inside will decrease no matter if there's wind or not, the walls can't store that much heat during the day, it's simply not possible. And you can't trust the regular thermometers you can get in most places, to get proper readings you need to have an insulation system with a properly calibrated thermometer, which I guess you don't even know where to get your hands on one to being with.

Great, let's see the original source and find out how common those are.

ilmeteo.it/portale/archivio-meteo/Piacenza/2019/Giugno
this sets on Piacenza but you can pick other cities, receives data from all the metereological stations of the various areas (obviously site is in italian)
Milano, Brescia, Bergamo, Pavia, Bologna all reach similar levels in those bad days
TO ME it seems common enough to say that pianura padana is an oven for a few days a year enough to have 30° in your room, but i guess you can take out some fancy thermometer from your ass and say "no baby not dat easy"
doesn't take a genius to understand that a massive warm object like a house will have a hard time cooling down with no wind (especially the inside) in the few hours of night
the walls keep the heat out when the summer starts and progressively get hotter until they are completly filled and during night they emanate heat as an asphalt road does, you can touch the wall and feel the heat, especially on the sides that are exposed to the sun the most
to me it seems like you are talking about stuff you don't know, simply because you read a few things and googled a couple data, so you think you know every possible local climatic situation of the planet
next move will probably be telling me that the law of termodinamics PROVE ME WRONG because heat flows from warmer to cooler therefore my room will necessarily cool down during night
wasted enough time here i guess

Most of Europe is too mild to necessitate AC. There are parts of the US where AC isn't needed to be comfortable

no one uses ACs here and we live just fine
