Where is everyone located and how is the weather? Have you turned on the AC yet this season?
I did for the first time as it's horrible around here (I hate the heat) and getting into the 90's tomorrow. |
|
I live in New Mexico.
I am in Albuquerque right now and it has been getting in to the high 90's. Do you have a swamp cooler or refrigerated air? ETA: I never turn of my AC. |
|
Leander Texas. Its about 98 outside. I run my AC pretty much all day and all night.
|
|
It's 91 here today (only because it's cloudy) and humid as a motherfucker - basically you'd be insane to wear anything besides shorts and a short-sleeve shirt.
A/C has been on since April. |
|
A/C has been going for a few weeks now. Its only 80 here right now but it's supposed to be 98 tomorrow. In a few more weeks it wont hit less than 100 until about 4am.
|
|
Just turned it on for the first time yesterday, in central IL. |
|
|
A/C's been on for a while now. It's around 94 here, with a 378% humidity.
|
|
Sounds like some of you have some hefty energy bills, that's one of the reasons I like having Spring and Fall here, no need for heat or AC so it's nice to have a cheap gas and electric bill for a few months anyway.
|
|
Dude it 94 and like 80% humidity in S. IN.
It sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
$140-150 a month for a 2 bdrm apartment for about 7 months out of the year. |
|
|
Houston, texas, been in the mid-upper 90's for a week. humidity hovering round 80-90%
AC been on since march 20th. sigh during the day know one is home so i have the house set to not cool less than 86, at night it keeps it 74-75. |
|
Central Maine. Sunny, mid 70s. Don't even have AC.
I graduate on Sunday and we are expecting 90 degree weather, and our school does not have AC. We are all going to |
|
44% humidity, 95 degrees. Tomorrow the temp is supposed to hit 99.
I'm not going outside unless I have to. The AC is working overtime. Goldsboro, NC. |
|
It's only gotten warm here this week, so much for global warming in MI anyway, it's been seasonably cool.
Have the temps been normal in your neck of the woods? |
|
Mid 80's and very humid here in NE OH. Turned on the AC for the first time this year. House is a confortable 73 now.
|
|
What he said. |
|
|
So, it's cooled of a little? Whenever the humidity gets below 400% I start getting chapped lips from the dry air. I think I had the A/C off for a couple of hours back in February. |
|
|
Roger that. |
|
|
+2% |

I have often envied the southern climes for their lack of heating bills in the winter, and the northern ones for lack of cooling in the summer. I do enjoy all 4 seasons though, and moderate temps in spring and fall is one of the best things about being in the middle. |
|
|
55F and a low dew point here in Vancouver, WA. I don't even have an A/C unit.
|
|
A/C is on and waiting for another round of severe weather tonight.
|
|
Yep. Hot, humid, and today very windy here in Houston. |
|
|
I'm in the same situation as you, 80s, humid, and shitty... I'll probably dig the AC out this weekend. |
|
|
Its been hot and humid. I have central air and I am enjoying it.
|
|
Lucky me, my wife switched jobs this spring. We are on Cobra coverage till August. $1250 a month. I don't think we will be enjoying A/C much this year.
|
|
Today it was 98 degrees.
We run the A/C at 72 from 10pm-7am. Our last energy bill was $60.45 for a 2 bed 2 bath apartment using this system. Its usually not hot during the day inside because we have very good insulation. |
|
Wow, that is amazing, sounds like a really efficient system. In the heat of the summer, my AC runs non-stop and the bill usually ends up being around 200.xx or so. Usually it's only a month or two that it's that high. We've had the "unit" checked out and it's doing what it's supposed to but it's older. 1100sq ft house here. |
|
|
Turned on the a/c? I didn't know they have on/off switches...but then I'm in Florida.

Currently: 54°F Light Rain
McMinnville, Oregon Currently: 12°C Light Rain Wind: South at 12 MPH Humidity: 86% Dewpoint: 50°F Barometer: 29.91 inches and steady Wind: South at 19 KPH Humidity: 86% Dewpoint: 10°C Barometer: 1013 millibars and steady Sunrise: 5:25 am Sunset: 8:55 pm It's cold enough I had to go scrounge up some firewood and build a fire. Friggin' Februne weather. |

Dallas TX
Hot and humid, it was hot and humid yesterday and it will be hot and humid tomorrow. It will be hot and humid till mid September |
|
These threads are interesting insight to psycology. Most of the tacticool Rambo-tuff guys have had then on since the mercury crossed 80 and have had it set at 65.
|
|
where i am at it is 0240am on the 6th of June. The temp outside right now is 94 degrees. Yesterdays high was 117 degrees. Thankfully I am one of the lucky ones who gets to work the night shift.
The A/C in the shop is set at 72 degrees currently. |
|
Think about this though... The guy living in Maine might feel blistering hot above 70. But he might do better than you or me down at -10... As much as those of us in the Southern parts of the world like to poke fun at people who "Can't take the heat", throw us (me anyway) in 0 degree weather and I just wanna ball up, drink coffee, and die. |
|
|
I don't mind the heat if I'm working or if I'm out on the boat etc. If I'm in the house trying to relax and stay cool, I don't like sweating. |

Low 90's in Central WV, humid as hell, I walk out of the office this evening and my glasses fogged up on me.
|
|
What does comfort have to do with being a tough guy? |
|
|
Holy hell!
It was 96 with high humidity today. 13 degrees above normal. The AC is running but it is still too hot to do anything, even chop wood! praying for rain, South Carolina. |
|
A/C on for first time just to dehumidify and cool a little. I doubt Barak hussien Stalin Obama approves of my actions. FUCK HIM.
|
|
90-something earlier today.
People look at me funny when they see me running out in this weather. |
|
Weather has been pretty shitty. At least it's not 95. No A/C on in this pad just yet.
Mostly Cloudy 65°F Feels Like 65°F Updated Jun 5 11:05 p.m. CT UV Index: 0 Low Wind: From SE at 7 mph Humidity: 90% Pressure: 29.29 in. Dew Point: 62°F Visibility: 10.0 miles |
|
I think it hit 90 today. First time I turned the A/C on this year.
|
|
Mine is at 72 (at night, 74 during the day) thank you very much. Think about this though - we all like A/C and hate the heat, but it's not like we bitch it about it. When you live in the south - you're used to high humidity and hot summers. I had a guy come out from San Diego last summer and EVERY day he complained about the humidity ("it feels like a FUCKING Sauna, dude!") and I realized that I'm just used to it cause I've lived here all my life. It's not that I need A/C, but I like it. Just like I don't need guns...but.... |
