Those walls would be nearly 30C in the inside already, if my house was built with them. The average temps for the past few weeks (low + high / 2) have been 30-32C. Its still somewhat early in the hot season here, so that will still go up.

There are months of the year where it doesn't get less than like 32C. save for rare cold snaps were it'll dip down to 26C or so for an evening or two.

My pool, which also has some decent thermal inertia, is already at 30C. The average temperature is still going up outside.

All of Europe is further north than most of the US. This does some big things for the climate.



Yeah, and heat capacity is the last thing you want for an object in a hot environment where the sun shines on it.

I've seen shaded portions of my concrete slab at 36C at 1AM
