I don't think it went over 33 C in our area.
We do have trees in the neighborhood which really helps.
We also mitigate our apartment temperature. No AC.
We have a sunny shade that is deployed over the south facing balcony. Doors and windows closed when the outside is hotter than inside. Open the place up at night. Two ceiling fans and one stand fan keep us below 26.
The one problem we have is our downstairs neighbors. They smoke like chimneys. They stench comes up and into our living room.
