Thanks! This is pretty much what we've been doing for the last couple of years. If you cast your mind back to the summer of 2018 where we had weeks with highs in the 30s and it was very still, passive cooling strategies become ineffective. Our place lingered at the 29-30 degree mark inside, despite our efforts and fans and whatnot. IIRC 2019 wasn't quite so crazy but still a bit wild at times.
10,000 BTU monoblock cooler on the way - I'm thinking of it as £600 of insurance. Hopefully won't have to use it that much.
I'll be interested to hear if this seems to work. Will likely be in a very similar scenario (top floor flat and baby) and if it's anything like last year's summer I'd like at least one room that's a refuge from the heat.
