"Ventilating at Noon?"... Experts Share Tips on How to Cope with Heatwaves

Here is a quick summary of the news you need to know this morning.

Let's take a look at these useful news items together. Here is the first one.

We have information about habits that raise indoor temperatures during a heatwave.

Many people open their windows as soon as they get home on a hot day, right?

It turns out that doing so can actually make your home even hotter.

Experts advise that instead of opening windows wide during the middle of the day, it is more helpful to lower the indoor temperature by first blocking out sunlight with curtains or blinds.

For ventilation, it is more effective to open windows facing each other during the morning or evening hours when the outside temperature drops, allowing for a cross-breeze.

Also, fans are more effective at creating a cross-breeze when placed near a window during the evening or night rather than in the middle of the day.

Using a dehumidifier alongside a fan can also make you feel cooler at the same temperature.

As the heatwave continues, please keep these tips in mind, as changing just a few small habits can increase cooling efficiency and reduce electricity usage.
