But that way it makes for even stuffier nights. Currently 27°C inside (didn't close my shutters this morning), if I had let my window open it would be above 30°C inside. I open my windows when the outdoors get cooler than the indoors.
I generally don't find it to bad, usually our temperature drops below 20C around sunset so if my windows are open I can get a nice breeze in sometimes. Tomorrow night will probably be quite unpleasant though, low of above 20C with humidity as well.. my room is going to be a sauna!
Yeah if you can cross-ventilate you'll cool down nicely a night. I wouldn't do it in an apartment that faces only one direction though (unless there's a fan).
Reached 29°C/84°F yesterday. Now 25°C/77°F. Warmer than ideal, but I still sleep like a baby. Due to the lack of climate control, my room has a continental indoors climate, went from 15°C to 29°C in 9 days.
My room temperature is currently 25C, but when I open the windows again soon it should drop a few degrees and be comfortable for sleeping! Unfortunately I have the lights on at the moment so I can't, do not want a swarm of bugs coming in!

On that note... does anyone know if a North-South cross would be the reason I don't get cross ventilation?
My garage and bedroom are West-East and there always seems to be a strong current. Meanwhile no breeze with the Dining Room & Living Room which is South-North.
I didn't think position of a home would matter until I realized this. If that's the reason. Could be all the tall trees around blocking any good wind coming in.
Had 30°C / 86°F for the first time in my appartment yesterday. Right now its still about 28°C / 82°F.
Surprisingly most German cities max temperature was so conspicuous last several days that even higher than Fayetteville, or the other Southern US cities.
Europe=Heat Wave/North America=Cold Wave
Currently 24.6°C. Great summer indoors temp, but mosquitoes have been fierce these two past nights. Not only the buzz, but the itch is making nights uncomfortable. I've worn a repellent-filled watch thingy last night but it didn't help much. Screens are the only option left. Can't be bothered yet, let's hope it will be better tonight.

Mine's north-south exclusively. Sometimes when there's no wind, leaving two windows open doesn't help much. Other nights, I need to prevent the doors from slamming. There are trees and buildings around, though neither are really tall.
