It's 95F and we had another terrific thunderstorm overnight...so it's like a steam bath outside. It feels quite cool when I walk indoors...79F.

Re: Talking of hot ....
it depends how high the humidity is and that fluctuates daily here so i'm forever playing with the controls lol! without the high humidity i like a warm mid to high 70's inside however now that summer is here and it's very humid i have it down to 69 and although it feel somewhat cool we have to have it that low to pull the humidity out of the air. OH doesn't mind the humidity too much but then he's grown up with it.
btw our elec bill for last month was $789 ~ how does that compare to y'alls?

Re: Talking of hot ....
What I don't get, is some people I know have the temp set between 68/70 and who then like to 'snuggle' under the blankets at night to keep warm. 
WTF is that all about?? Why not just save some energy and dollars, have the temp set higher and use less bedding?

Re: Talking of hot ....
You must have a swamp cooler? My house is only AC 
I wish I had dual cooling
I keep it at 80F except at night when I set it at 75F. It's pretty humid here now so ceiling and tower fans aren't so effective as they are when it's dry. But the cost of the electricity used during the summer is offset by the warm winters. Rarely last winter did I need to turn the heating on so my gas bills are next to nothing.

Re: Talking of hot ....
76/78f should be good for everybody
below 70 is stupidity ..the chances of the outside unit freezing
up greatly increases after that ...
