If my kitchen didn't face due west, I probably wouldn't give
it a thought.  A large window over the sink doesn't help, but
I do have an excellent room darkening shade over it which I
keep pulled down from about 1:00 p.m. until just dark.

My mom's kitchen also faced west and cooking in that room
in the summer is what I'd imagine working in a foundry
would be like.  🥵

Presently it's 92°F (33°C) which has been one of the
'cooler' days here.
