I’m no stranger to the heat of summer, but residing in the southern half of the country is really mindblowing this season.
The heat never lets up around here, plus either does the oppressive relative humidity.
The continual barrage of discomfort caused by the pounding sun, the stagnant air, plus the suffocating moisture gets old pretty abruptly, plus there’s only one method of real relief as far as I’m nervous. I love air conditioning. I’m a big fan of central air, as well as A/C window units; I don’t care how I get my high quality air, so long as it’s being pumped continuously into my house. I like to keep the air temperature down around 69 degrees while in the afternoon, plus drop the temp even lower at night for the ideal sleeping conditions. This is a big temperature disparity between the indoor plus outdoor air, plus the difference can be quite shocking when you walk inside or out. Further, I’ve noticed that there is such a good gap in the air hot plus cold temperatures on each side of my home’s windows that there is a big amount of condensation being built up. The sizzling air outdoors hits the cold pane of glass plus the water condenses straight out of the air, sticking onto the glass. This water is not only fogging up all of my windows, but it’s very pooling around the window sills plus walls surrounding the glass. If I ever need a visual reminder of how crucial my A/C is, I don’t have to look far!
