Exactly right, as that fiery clouds behind the tree is thankfully the last heat of the day.
Our house has no airbricks and it is like an oven in the day, When we are at home, like now, we open all the doors and the windows. At night it was a different story as we had to close everything to keep the mossies out. Not anymore as now we allow the cool of the strong evening wind to flow through the house. I got some sheets of mosquito netting and placed them on the window frames and now we can sleep with open windows. Selah

Modern homes without air-bricks never seen that before, I know many don't bother with gutters of late. Our home being East/West the summer sun scorches in during summer afternoon right up to sunset. Big tree helps shade the lounge, bedrooms take a couple of hours to cool down.

Mozzie netting works like a charm in clean air conditions, Durban is filthy, air, sea, water, rivers, over populated, too many business parks built close to homes. South Coast was meant to be small coastal villages, now nothing works, hundreds of people are selling up to get out of Africa, or getting their children out, this includes all colours within society here at the moment.

Oh yeah, they call it quick build, as it is a skill to insert air-bricks, so we live in an oven. Our house also faces east/west and we have a very high wall at the eastern side. It is the midday sun that get's us until almost sunset. Strikes us in the kitchen badly.

Nothing that one can do about filthy air and rotten smells. Maybe it is also time for you guys to get out there. People of my age face much difficulty to emigrate and so I just have to tough it out and stay here.
But we do the best that we can.

Big fan with damp cloth draped over might help cool the kitchen during hot days, or fan with dish over water directly in front to assist with cooling.

Both on 'pension' we can possibly move to another town, still trying to get the sons on the move. Upper South Coast is filthy I cannot express how bad since the floods, very surprised no excessive illnesses have not broken out already.

Tried all of that and now looking for a small battery operated fan.

What about further inland towards the Berg? Or maybe even St Lucia? I loved it up there during my contracting days. Upper South coast, towards Port Edward, or the other way?

!PIZZA

Current problem is every second house here is up for sale, not many moving we may have to sit on our hands a little while longer. If I move it will be down into Brakrivier area possibly.

Never found battery powered fans have done the job, large short base fans have been what I have settled on placing onto stand.

Wow, you guys are really in a bad state there. We are concerned about all of you there.
Don't wait too long, as things can always get worse.

That is a good idea with the large short base fans, but we need to have something during the power cuts, as we run the two PC's here, Marian has to mark her students and I am often on Hive, so it gets very hot in here.
