My apartment is made wholly of stone. There are two windows at the front, one large window with curtains and drapes and one small window with Venetian blinds above the kitchen sink. Only this window opens.
During the day, the stone walls gather and retain the heat like a brick oven, especially the back wall which faces the intense midday sunlight. The bathroom is located at the back of the apartment, along with a sink and mirror outside the bathroom, and this area becomes permanently sauna-like. One can actually feel the heat by placing his hand against the wall.
While the night hours cool somewhat, the apartment remains toasty warm, immune to the futile efforts of the fan and the woefully weak AC unit.
Needless to say, I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of rainy season, so that these simmering walls can at least get a regular dousing!
