I can’t handle humidity.  It’s crazy hot here in Northern CA but the AC works.

My son is about to start his second year in Cambodia.  Every time I look at weather there the high is over 90 & the humidity is between 80 - 1000%.

Feels like - Hades

AH Quit your whining.  You don't know hot and humid until you've lived in the South. @anatess2 and @MormonGator smell what I'm smokin'.

Oh, I’m not complaining on this thread (although I commonly do in other threads).

I love the dry heat in Cali (one of the reasons why I’m here).  I grew up in Texas and spent 2 years in muggy Houston.  

My son in Phnom Penh has sent some terrifying photos of the worst heat and humidity I have ever seen.  Average yearly humidity there is 78%.

Beats Houston by 3% 

or as Maxwell Smart would say:

Missed it by that much.

My husband has been complaining that the AC in the car is not working from 10-6.  I told him, it's working, babe.  It's just summer in Florida.

If you can't keep the inside of your home near 72 F all day and night all summer, whoever installed your AC system, did not use the right equipment and or you do not have the necessary insulation.  I have lived in places where 98 to 105 F and dripping humidity was the norm during the summer, but our AC was able to keep it 70-72 F inside all summer. My friend has a fairly new home where the contractor installed an anemic AC unit that was never be able to cool their home in the summer. It would run 24 hours a day and never catch up and would break down frequently. They burned up motors and other parts several times a year. He is now replacing it with a unit that will do the job but is going to cost him many thousands of dollars.

My house is set at 80 F as a compromise to my husband.  He wants 72, I want no AC at all - there's a reason I chose to live in Florida.  We settled with 80.  I wouldn't know if my AC system is good.  I only know that my heater is really good.  I can keep the house at 80 all throughout winter.

So, basically you get to keep it at 80 year round?  

Where does the compromise come in?

The compromise is - my husband gets to run the AC.  80 is 20-30 degrees lower than outside "feels like" temps in the summer.

We don't set the temps at 80 in winter because $$$.  But I can when I can't stand it anymore.  Usually there's a week in January that drives me bonkers.
