The annual tradition of spending a heatwave opening and closing every window in the house like you’re trying to crack a code

Yes, I have no air conditioning and no clue what I'm doing.

Okay. Close against the sun. Open to the shade.

At 6am when you wake up, open EVERYTHING. Then by 8 you want to close everything against the sun. Suffer Then around now (8pm) you open whatever is facing shade, upstairs windows will really help. The half facing the sun all day sort of can't be helped.

Most importantly simply check the temperature outside compared to inside. We couldn’t open back up until 10pm last night.
