How do you plan to cool down your apartment this summer? (lemm.ee)

The summer is coming soon to the Northern Hemisphere. How do you plan to combat the heat? I live in a regular apartment without air conditioning, and installing a full-scale system is not an option. I wonder what my options are, and how other people are planning to deal with the issue.

Sleeping through the worst parts of the heat is not a bad idea.

In 2021 when the heat got oppressive here, we couldn't sleep through any of it. it was 45c in one daytime, and with 90% humidity it was an actual killer. There was no sleep at night, no sleep all day, it was all just counting the hours until it was over -- or we had an excuse to go to work where - for me - it was a cool basement attached to a cooler datacenter. We joked we should move desks into there, but our little group may have left a door open to the DC and let the chiller do an extra 10% space on those days!
