What is 200°C at night?

200°C at night is like having a fire blazing in your room all through the dark hours.

Imagine you're wearing your favorite pajamas and curling up under your cozy blanket, ready for bed. But instead of being warm and sleepy, it's like someone turned on a giant fireplace, and the heat is radiating from every wall around you, everywhere. That’s what 200°C feels like: it’s not just hot; it’s super-duper hot.

How Hot Is That?

Think of your microwave. When it's working, it can warm up a plate of pizza in minutes. Now imagine that same heat, but instead of warming up food, it’s warming up you, and it doesn’t stop for hours. You’d be roasting like a marshmallow!

Why It Matters at Night

Even though the sun has gone to bed, the ground still holds onto all that warmth from the day. So when you're trying to sleep, instead of being cool and calm, it's like the whole room is saying, “Hey, let’s party!”, and the heat is the DJ.
