    I can believe it. My current house can only use portable AC’s for cooling off a specific room. So when the house bakes to 120s. I can really feel the ware on my body. It’s in credible how impactful it can be. Roasting in a poorly insulated home.

      120°F?! Where you at? Hottest day I’ve experienced in America was 118°F in Oklahoma, early 90s. Jesus, get outside and under water.

      Maybe not so bad if it’s dry, but that’s a killer temp in humidity. And this is from a guy who works outside in Florida.

        It’s dry. And I’ve also tried taking the darkness out of the wood of the house that gets the most sun. But ya. It can bake up to 120. I have a room thermo that monitors APU back ups. That’s why we have a cool off room set up. I only exit the cool room to do business meetings.

        This is in Bay Area California. Farm land south of San Jose. Only a few weeks in the summer get that hot occasionally. Sometimes it never gets that warm during the summer and I appreciate those days.
