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
