Evaporative cooler filled with water, takes 20+ litres. Running the fan/pump on the lowest setting. We had another hot night, temps didn't drop below 24˚C & I had a desk fan running flat out all night for some relief, the evap cooler is more effective, though.
Looking like another warm night, expecting 20˚C.

So I had a look at it today. The floor of the luggage are rests on a pair of removable storage bins either side of the spare wheel well. One if those bins was misaligned and making contact with the plastic liner of the compartment. I shoved a scrap of cardboard into the gap & that fixed the issue.
A UV index of 10 equates to the sunlight intensity at midday on a clear summer day. Today has been mostly overcast with a UV index of 14.
That's nasty.
It is becoming increasingly obvious that David Bowie has established a better alternate universe and is populating it selectively one-by-one.
The outside temperature is dropping at last, rain ☔ has started falling, quite heavy with thunderstorms. A few suburbs away, there are reports of flooding. Although that particular area is reclaimed swampland anyway.
