I remember during a heat wave, me and my friend went my office to stay cool until bed time. Perhaps we could have brought sleeping bags there. Temperature was something like 95/74 ish.

Sleeping outside on the porch or balcony is also something I considered; didn't try because I was at my parent's house with A/C during the last heat wave.

lol, i will sleep outside many times if it wasnt for bats. I have a huge balcony in floor 12 and i hear the bats flying

but the really HOT night of 34 celsius (monday) was so so so hot that not even bats were in the air. No bats, no flys, nothing, not ANY bug, while usually hot nights of summer are full of bugs. Me and my boyfriend have a theory that it was SO HOT that even summer bugs emigrate.

I'm not so sure there's no public swimming pools. I've read that there are in fact, but I never went to one, and the quality of it I don't know.

As for the swimming pool and A/C, the new buldings usually don't come with A/C so it's up to the owner (or the tenant) to put A/C on his/her apt.
However, many new buldings come with a shared swimming pool, either on the ground or on the rooftops. I saw all this when I was looking for an apt to rent.

It seems that there are public swimming pools in Circuito KDT in Palermo. They aren't free but they are very cheap compared to those private ones you mentioned.

Just google it and you'll see.

As to the swimming pool, I'm not a big fan of spending a lot of time in the swimming pool, though I enjoy it for 3 or 4 hours sure.

What is your usual sunshine hour average for January?

Fuxton is well below average for even January this winter with just 6 hours sun so far this year.
269 hours is the average for January, so it's at about 60% of the average so far.

6 hours is pretty sad. Sunny days make winter enjoyable.

Up to 9th, all of NZ north of a line from Ch'ch to Westport is below average - should improve as the month goes by.

Locally we're already looking at our 3rd consecutive summer with sunshine below average, barring a near-miracle. Due almost exclsuively to poor Dec & Jan totals.
