   it's 87 in here. Landlord wont do more to cool this apartment down. It's 3pm and by pattern it will get even hotter in the next few hours.

   Eighty seven inside my home with all the fans on, the Ac constantly on but not doing enough to keep this place cool!

   I am going to turn off my computers next to reduce heat production, my needed pleasure producers! Imma be cranky!

   Landlord's "unifrmity" policy could kill me with heat from an insignificant cooling system.
   they denied central cooling too.

     @GreenRoc Some tips...
     Tinfoil on windows can reflect sunlight away. Just spray with a mix of dishsoap and water, apply foil with the shinnier side out. If being held on by soap means it's easy to undo later.

     A blanket behind your curtains will also slow heat gain (and loss in the winter!)

     Heat rizes. Use this knowledge to your advantage.
     Exhaust heat from the highest point you can, and draw air in on a lower window n the shadier side of your dwelling.

     @GreenRoc One word of caution with the tinfoil... During bright sun, it will get hot enough to hurt if you touch it.
