Because of solar gain coming in the south facing windows, our house will
warm right up in the morning, and the west facing den windows were
killing us in the afternoons. Had to install solar screens to keep it cool in there.

Not too hot here today.. 81F right now..

But there is just enough humidity to make it feel sticky outdoors..

So, the Sanyos are running at 23 to 24C (73.4 to 75.2F) so it's very nice in here.
We burned up 4.8 kWh so far today. Old folks gotta stay cool..
