How hot is it at your house?

Its been hanging around 80-85 in my house the last 2 weeks. I didnt put the ACs in this year, so we've been suffering a bit. Upstairs is a little hotter though, maybe 5-7 degrees higher on average.

Here its been hitting 101s lately, the rains pass us by completely missing us

but the inside, I usually try to keep it between 76-74, by late afternoon with the sun beaming over the house, I have it in 74 but the AC struggles to get to that level because of the sun beating down us. And it sucks because we don't have a freaking tree in the front yard, there is a conspiracy theory floating around that

We're the only house and a corner block house (sucks you have to keep the grass green and nicely trimmed for the neighbors), has no tree in the front. A beautiful big oak tree in the back which is really really nice and fun to climb on, but we're screwd in the front.

Hot here too. It's been 102+ for the last 2 weeks. It is very dry though (half of washington state is a desert), I grew up here and I can't stand humidity. I'll take my 102 anyday rather than live in a humid place.

Actually, the only time it starts getting humid around here is right before a thunderstorm.

I have a stupid question!! what is a swamp cooler?

 

[tuxedokitties]

A swamp cooler works by running water over a pad in front of a fan - the water evaporating helps to cool the air. Only works in dry climates.
