Default Indoor conditions during this hot spell

I had a max reading of 38.9C in my conservatory yesterday, North facing and
at the back of the house.
I have reflective blinds all around in there too - I guess they where
stretched to their limit

And now there is a friggin bat flying around outside.

It almost flew into the room, a few moments ago


I have noticed that a 10-15% change in humidity indoors makes a big
difference to how it 'feels' sitting in my living room. I have a small
instrument which displays temperature and humidity in the room. It is
well away from the windows and is never in sunlight. For much of
yesterday afternoon and evening it read 29C with humidity 38%. (This is
with windows open) I find that it tends to fall about 3 or 4 degrees
during the early hours and then rise slowly through the rest of the
morning, and remain constant from about 2pm until 11pm.

This morning it is reading 26C already and the humidity is 57%.
Although the temperature is 3 degrees lower than yesterday afternoon,
that increase in humidity means that I feel hotter now than I did all
through yesterday.
