It's 54 degrees outside, why is it 82 in my apartment?

I've got all the windows open and the fan on and it's still hot as hell in here. I don't even think it hit 82 outside today, why is it so warm? Ugh.
 
which way is your apartment facing ?
If it's like mine (west), then your apt is cooked from morning till sunset and takes a long time to cool down.
I live in phx and there is no tree or shade in front of my apt. In the summer, my apt is basically a big oven.
 
One thing that works well for me. I put a fan in an upstairs window, blowing out. I open windows and door dowstairs on the opposite side of the house, and it creates a nice venting effect. The hot air upstairs is exhausted out, and cool air from outside is pulled in downstairs. It usually cools the place off in short order. I've found having fans blowing in really doesn't work as well since you are not getting rid of the warm air...just blowing cooler air at it.
 
Simple psychometrics often reveal that cooler outside air cannot be used for free cooling (non a/c) due to a higher enthalpy value.

The only way to reduce the indoor air temp and comfort index to a more preferred level is to use air conditioning.

Cheers!

This isn't evolution. Leave thermodynamics out of this thread!

What are you talking about anyway?

Two PCs, a TV, and a receiver is all that's on.

umm, yeah, i'm going to go with that. You know how much heat two monitors alone puts out? Not to mention a tv. Put your hand on top of one of them.
