As a midwesterner here. Anything above 75f is uncomfortable for me, i either have to be functionally naked (or literally) or in a cooler temperature to be comfortable.
It also varies from person to person, although i’ve noticed commercial buildings will often have a lower temperature, idk why this is, might be regulation, might be social policy, something or other, who knows.
Jesus. I’ve lived in a place where it’s not rare to surpass 120 F each year in the summer. This is not the point, the point is to have A/C on 24/7 everywhere as soon as you are reaching 70 F.
I guess I got triggered by “northerners” lol I’m from long Island NY and it gets absolutely brutal in the summer. The NE gets surprisingly gross in the summer months
A/C particularly, electricity waste. It’s damn ridiculous, even for Texas. Are northerners born in fridges?
yes.

The climate is different in different parts of the world, you see. But if you want to live through a Texas summer without A/C, go for it and enjoy.

It gets to be 90°F with a dew point of ~75°F where I am.
You can swim in the air with those numbers and absolutely suffer heat stroke. Fans just circulate the humid as fuck hot air. :(
it’s also worth noting the secondary purpose of air conditioning is to remove humidity, as it’s bad for the house.
High humidity is not a good thing to have. Especially for more northern climates where the summers are brutal and the winters are also brutal.
And that’s a bit of a break here. We hit 100+F regularly over the summer, and its 82 F and 85% humidity in the mornings. No AC is bad.
Guys, I’ve literally lived on a tropic. Not talking about specific places where heat in times of climate change is a real health issue.
