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
Sorry for the confusion. I used it loosely as in “people from the north hemisphere well above the tropic”, even though, the A/C comment is in reference to the USA in general.
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.
