It was heavily rain yesterday afternoon. At night, I feel my living hall down stair warm like Oven if compare to the temperature outside the house. The temperature outside the house is so pleasant and nice, I guess below 30 degree.
The upper floor also not so hot compare to none rainy day.
I am wondering why living hall down stair, especially the center of the house feel so warm, just like in the Oven.
Any thought ?

possibly heat built up unable to escape.

1. try external shading device (roof awning) or solar gard film at window
2. open windows front and back for cross ventilation.
if no improvement may be install extraction fan to draw trapped hot air out and replace with cooler air from outside.
Or install turbine at roof above hall since hot air trapped in middle of house.

you see, after rain, the upper floor cool down a lot but the lower floor at the center of the house still warm like Oven.

If I install Wind Turbine, I think most probably the wind turbine able to cool down upper floor due to better ventilation at upper floor.
This is similar to circumstance where the upper floor cool down a lot after heavy rain.
But the ground floor at the center of the house still warm like Oven.

So I guess wind turbine only solve the heat problem on top floor and not the ground floor for a double storey terrace house.

theoretically hot air is supposed to rise (through stairway) and the turbine would facilitate it. you may need a couple of turbines.
not sure your house condition.
if not draw hot air upward, then draw it side ways. like do you block the ventilation at the kitchen/back of house. for air replacement there shall be in one side and out another side. or try use the portable fan first if you have.
