Some summers stay with you because of beautiful memories. This one will stay with me because my bedroom could have officially qualified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site \u2014 warmest place in which a human has ever attempted to sleep<\/i>. <\/p>\n

Even the olive tree in my garden looked defeated. At night, the temperature refused to drop below 30 degrees, and by day, the sun seemed determined to personally test my finca for fire resistance. It was a summer where the line between \u2018living in Spain\u2019 and \u2018surviving in Spain\u2019 grew noticeably thin. But now, at last, we\u2019re slowly easing back to normal<\/em> in Spain. <\/p>\n

The theory of March vs. the reality of August<\/h4>\n

Back in March, I wrote a piece about how to stop your house from turning into an oven<\/a> \u2014 shutters closed early, airing at the right times, creating shade wherever possible. All solid in theory, and to be fair, much of it held up. But the reality of this summer showed that some strategies only really work when the thermometer doesn\u2019t insist on hovering above 30 degrees all night long. <\/p>\n

Closing the shutters early, for example \u2014 absolutely worth it, as long as you do it before 9 a.m. Sleep in once and you\u2019ll feel the difference immediately \u2014 the walls trap the heat like an oven that\u2019s just been turned off, but is nowhere near cool. Fans in front of the windows helped pull in a bit of air at night, though \u201ccool\u201d was a very generous word this year. And avoiding indoor cooking? That became pure necessity. The barbecue saw more action than the rest of the year combined, and on the hottest days, dinner was reduced to cold tapas and a bottle of water pressed to my neck like a makeshift air conditioner. <\/p>\n

Air conditioning is not a magic fix<\/h4>\n

My belief that air conditioning isn\u2019t sacred only gained more proof this summer. Of course, there were moments when I pressed the button and gratefully welcomed that first wave of cool air. But the effect is temporary \u2014 and if you use it the wrong way, you pay the price. Literally. The neighbours set theirs to Arctic mode and ended up walking around in jumpers indoors. Their energy bill will probably be unforgettable. <\/p>\n

What worked better was using the air con briefly and strategically \u2014 just enough to break the heat, then keeping the space cool with fans and closed shutters. It takes a bit of discipline, but comes with a lot less guilt when the electricity bill arrives. <\/p>\n

Looking ahead while it\u2019s still summer<\/h4>\n

The beauty of late summer is that you\u2019re still in the warmth, yet already able to think about what\u2019s next. I use these weeks to look at what could be improved. Maybe a few strategic changes in the garden \u2014 like adding a pergola or training grapevines to shade the west side of the house. Indoors, I\u2019m considering ceiling fans in the bedrooms \u2014 quieter, more energy-efficient, and less harsh than air conditioning. <\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s the lesson in timing: don\u2019t plan major jobs in July or August. This summer taught me that the hard way, when a handyman thought it would be a great idea to open up the roof \u2014 right in the middle of a heatwave. Let\u2019s just say I now have a very different definition of \u201cindoor climate.\u201d <\/p>\n

Heatwaves in Spain aren\u2019t going anywhere. But this summer taught me that preparation \u2014 and smart use of what you already have \u2014 makes all the difference. And that the olive tree in my garden, however weary it looked, is still one of my best allies in the fight against the heat. <\/p>\n

Almost September. In Spain, we\u2019re slowly going back to normal<\/em>. Volver a la normalidad. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
