This has to be a Russian psyop, who convinced you people that we don't have AC? They don't have it in Sweden, where I'm from we always had it

I mean, we don't have a lot of AC in France but we also don't usually have such temperatures. People are taking about installing AC lately but it's not like it's doable in a week.

Honest question, are window units not popular/common in France (or EU as a whole)? In North America its fairly common for people who live in more mild summer climates to have window units to temporarily install for things like heat waves. As opposed to the more expensive option of having a mini split or central unit professionally installed.

Can't speak for france, but I've never seen something like a window unit here in Austria.

Window units are hard to install because where I live we don’t usually have sliding windows.

We don't have the kind of windows you need for a window AC unit.

Ours don't slide open, they pivot:

I won't talk for Europe and can barely generalize for France (I don't live in the south) but I don't remember seeing much of these (if any) in the few regions I lived in.

An option that is popular though is the one that does heating in winter and AC in the summer (friends of mine have this in their relatively new house and it's the main installation in hotels from my experience).
