But air-conditioning units can only cool a maximum of 30 degrees, Fahrenheit, and that's only if you want them running non-stop. When it's 115F outside--which it will be shortly--it can make for some toasty nights! (Ceiling fans are our friends!)

I don't like heat and I do love a cool bedroom. My ideal temperature with my summer blanket is 19-20C. I can do warmer but I need to get used to that. Today was a nice 16C, tomorrow 13C, which is cold for the time of year.
My bedroom is already cooling down nicely, when I go to sleep later I should be able to close the window to just a crack and get comfy underneath my blanket. My bedroom ceiling is too low for a ceiling fan.
I have a Dyson hot + cool and on the lower fan setting it doesn't blow so hard my throat dries out and gets sore over night. But if we get another hot summer I might have to invest in a small airco for my bedroom. Yesterday I read an article that during the warm night from Tuesday to Wednesday a lot of people were online shopping for fans and aircos between 1am and 5am.
After the last two scorching summers I'm genuinely cool summer, with regular rain.
It used to be fairly normal that after a hot day there would be thunderstorm during the evening or night to cool things down. We didn't have that the last two summers.
