Hi all, I just saw a thread on it being too cold in your darkroom on your side of our planet, so I thought I'd have a heat vent. 
It's over 37+C again today (and we're the lucky city at the moment - other cities have been really sweltering above 40+C) and we still don't have air-conditioning in our house yet. Crazy, I know! It is a priority but there are still others further up the list that I can't dodge yet.
So, my darkroom is very hot and humid, the tap water is so hot it burns, takes forever to cool down and even then flows with uncontrollable 'hot spots' coming through. It's very difficult to keep chemical temps cool and relatively consistant and even more difficult to keep me cool under all this.
So apart from shipping some snow my way, pleeease do
....
What are your best tips to keep your cool without airconditioning in your darkroom? (on a budget) My darkroom is a pretty good setup considering it's temporary until my big one gets finished out the back.
Hmm, I think I may build my new darkroom into a commercial coolroom (so I can store my couple of bottles of Merlot perfectly as well).
Kindest regards,
Nicole
