A/C particularly, electricity waste. It's damn ridiculous, even for Texas. Are northerners born in fridges?
It gets to be 90ยฐF with a dew point of ~75ยฐF 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. :(
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.
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
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.
