Why is it hotter in my parent's basement than on the 2nd floor?

[JEDI]

The basement is 75% below ground.

Shouldnt it be cooler?

Why isnt it?

edit:
not living in basement.. just visiting for the weekend. just noticed how hot it is when getting something out of storage.

Srsly, crappy ventilation? On top of a burning coal seam? hax?

Time to move out. Be sure to put some pants on before you leave the house, however.

banished to the cellar again?

what did you do this time?

I would have just lived with being perplexed at the strange anomaly rather than admitting that I lived in my parents basement.... in fact even if a door to another dimension appeared you still would not have heard a peep from me.

Probably because your computer is on 24/7.

I'm going to go on a limb and say it's the air conditioner?

That's where they burn the bodies

Because it's a little bit closer to Hell?

I'm going to ask about a dehumidifier being down there, which shouldn't be needed with central A/C, but they're probably running anyway.

heater?

MIL running her mouth?

Stop watching porn and it'll be cooler.

No AC vent in the basement?

Makes sense to me.

 

[freakflag]

It's from the grow lights heating up the tinfoil.

that's strange, because when i did live with my mother, i lived in the basement and it was significantly cooler, even though the water heater was downstairs as well. i would say like 15-20 degrees cooler. of course i am 26, and haven't lived in my mom's basement for years, but i do remember the temperature difference.
