I already have a portable unit and a sealing kit, plus blackout curtains. The curtains can’t be deployed with the window opened enough to get the hose out. Running without any blackout curtains is an immediate non-starter since dawn is at 02:00 here, and my bedroom window is to the east.
Trying to buy an air conditioner mid heatwave probably won’t work too well but if youplan ahead then maybe next year you’ll have one ready instead of needing one and not having it
Get one of the portable ones and get one of those kits that seal around the hose to the window and then get some curtains.

There is not a single one in stock in the entire UK, plus dual hose versions are basically non existent here too.

What if I invest money in AC and it will never be this hot again?
It’s going to be this hot again, and worse. This is well-known.
