It is 73 degrees here with a nice breeze and my neighbor's A/C just kicked on...

I haven't used mine in months. He must keep it freezing in there...can't imagine what his electric bill is every month.

What the hell? People don't use air conditioners in paradise.

You lucky duck! It has been in the low 90's with a heat index in the 100's here for weeks now!!

Some people can't stand humidity. I admit, I'm fine on a 'dry' 80 degree day. On a "humid' one, I'll run the ac more or less just to dry the air. 73 wouldn't bother me.

 

[skace]

Mine might be "on" but it's just fan mode.

 

[PepePeru]

mine won't shut off.

granted 5 straight days of 100+ will do that.

Been pleasant here today for once. Currently at 86 with 30% humidity, which is the lowest in many weeks. Had my windows open all day and amazingly haven't even needed a fan. Probably around 81 inside, but compared to what it has been thats pretty damn nice!

 

[Azraele]

About 90 here...no AC at work. I'm happy to come home to my AC.

 

[dullard]

Turning on the AC when it is pleasant outside can make it far more pleasant inside without costing more than a few pennies. Why not spend a few pennies to be just absolutely perfect.

The real energy waste is people who want it absolutely perfect inside when it is 108°F outside or when it is -23°F outside. People like your neighbor who take it from near perfect to perfect spend almost nothing compared to doing that.

once my AC is in, it's more or less on when I'm home till the end of the summer since AC in = can't open the windows.

 

[Syrch]

I got in my car yesterday it read 123, of course it cooled to a real nice pleasant 112 after about 10 minutes

Ah, running weather.

Seriously, Toasty Warm

 

[ElFenix]

been 103 with high humidity every damn day here. it's like walking around in a hot wet blanket.


i would really like a thermostat that also regulated for humidity. 80 with low humidity is fine. 73 with high humidity sucks balls.

 

[adairusmc]

It has been in the low 80s here. Absolutely unacceptable.

I cannot wait for it to be 20 degrees and snowing.

 

[Rubycon]

It's all about dewpoints! When they get above 70F it can be very muggy/uncomfortable. With 100% relative humidity you are there when the thermometer is at 70F. In the tropics its not uncommon to see dewpoints well into the 80's. So a single pane window is completely fogged on the outside when the inside thermostat is 76F!

Humidity causes your dead skin which you naturally shed everyday to stick to your body making it increasingly difficult to stay cool. Now just imagine what happens when you throw a blanket on top of yourself at night with a moist dead skin coat on. Think about it and tell me how much that would disgust you.

 

[zerocool84]

It's 84 here which means it's HOT!!!!!!!

You could market it as an all-natural skin moisturizer - it locks in the moisture and keeps your living skin looking great!
Then peel it off, toss it in a food dehydrator, and save money on Beggin' Strips.

But it won't sell anymore. Billy Mays isn't here.

What about allergies? Pollen allergies can make any temperature miserable...
