Certain Soviet-era apartment buildings in Ukraine are experiencing extreme heat due to their design. These buildings, particularly the 16-story BPS series from the 1970s-80s, have large windows that trap heat, making them slow to cool down. Residents are advised to shade windows to mitigate the greenhouse effect and keep homes cooler during heatwaves.
