Americans here often say that their oven heats up their kitchen if not
half their house. I've never noticed much heat coming of an oven
unless I stand almost against it. Maybe we're talking about different
appliances.

It probably has something to do with humidity. Ours is low, and I don't
think twice about using the oven on hot days. One local TV station is
predicting over 100F temps for the next five days. My weather app, on my
Mac, shows Monday at 102F and no other days over 99F.
I've seen the TV station be dramatic, weather wise, before. We'll see.
Right now, we're at 96F with humidity at 11%. The swamp cooler is
struggling. It will get worse, but by how much?
I soak my shirt, wring it out, and sit on my La-Z-Boy on a towel. Seems
to work so far in this life. When in doubt, get wet. Low humidity!
