I'm grumpy and if one more person says "this is great isn't it?" I'm going to scream

Open all windows and as many curtains as you can manage at night with fans going. Then close everything when you get up in the morning. Definitely helps when it's really hot. Might not get as much benefit in a flat though.

    Yeah, tried that and no difference that I noticed.

    Top floor flat, full contact with the sun.

    No trees around.

    My downstairs neighbour is shielded by the building across the road in the afternoon, he is cooler.

    You're in a very sweaty situation it seems. The hope is to keep the lower temperature from overnight but if you've not got great ventilation that probably doesn't do much if you can't swap out the cooler night air. You're probably getting the heat from the building below you coming up overnight as well.

    Have you tried aiming some fans at windows on one side of the house to create more airflow?

    Thankfully my current flat can get some airflow.

    I have a fan aimed down the passage to get some air to move.

    My last flat was the main issue, such a small and square flat and did not allow air to flow easily.

    It really should have been a studio flat, remove some walls and it would have opened up and seemed much larger and the air would flow easier.
