I’m no stranger to the heat of summer, but living in the southern half of the country is genuinely 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 hastily, plus there’s only one method of real relief as far as I’m worried. I appreciate air conditioning. I’m a large fan of central air, and AC 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 during the morning, plus drop the temp even lower at evening for the ideal sleeping conditions. This is a large 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 fantastic gap in the air hot plus cold temperatures on each side of my home’s windows that there is a large amount of condensation being built up. The tepid 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 truly pooling around the window sills plus walls surrounding the glass. If I ever need a visual reminder of how important my AC is, I don’t have to look far!
