What do you do to cool down? It's 35 °C here…
I just installed my swimming pool… Water is running for hours already.

Airconditioning!! :D  We're thinking about putting a salsmurfer pool in next year, but that depends on if we save enough money up for it.

It's going to be 27°C tomorrow, and 28°C Sunday here.  It's usually about 4° warmer than what's predicted where we live.

Install a portable fridge in the backyard to keep the drinks nice and frosty.  :)

Those pools are quite-nice and will cool you down in the summer. I grew up with a pool like that although always wanted an inground pool.

35 is cool. Things are going hot when it touches 40°C and above. Then the remedy is a dive in the big blue. Or a mountain trip (no mountains in Holland but there's a lot of ocean, right?).
I used a pool like this a decade ago in the balkony. Kids loved it. A nice Capouccino Freddo or a Lemon/Strawberry ice recomended.

we had 33 before San Fermin, then temps dropped down to barely hitting 20C during the festival. A day or two after (it's been 4 now) it rose abruptly, and we've been hitting 35 daily now. Forecast calls for cooling on Sunday...
The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

I do want an inground too. But my garden is too small… Well this works also!

Looks like a great start to cooling off, add Sun Tea lots of ice and your set.

In the west there's the North Sea. But I'm living in the south, no ocean here…
