Frying tonight? Although we have not beaten our record high temperature, here in Cyprus, I firmly believe that this summer has overall been consistently the hottest.

It certainly seems that way in the Paphos area. There are many days and even weeks when we have had the lounge aircon running from lunchtime to early evening

One thing that amazes me is how much water the aircon generates.

We get a trickle from the outside pipe, but not that much

Most of these days there comes no water at all from my air-cons. However there is no humidity showing on my outdoor sensors. (25-30% RH)

You told us that you had a water problem recently under your house, that's why your aircons produce more water, which is good for your place.
You can collect that water as it is like distilled water one can buy. I collected more than 20 liter per year in the past for my PV stand alone system and used it for the battery banks, but also for windscreen washer system, car batteries or iron and very good window cleaning...
