anatess2 Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikbone Posted June 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 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%.

You don't know hot and humid until you've lived in the South. @anatess2 and @MormonGator smell what I'm smokin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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%.

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. mordorbund 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited June 13, 2019 by anatess2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
