Course it's really friggin hot here too. Only below 90* for about 2 hrs while the sun is up and that's in the early morning. I have noticed they have started to raise the summer temp for manj here so it's closer to what my research has shown it should be. In summer it's 100* + for 5-6 hrs a day. The forecasters are expecting 115* to rear it's head again too.
Summer 3 years ago we had over 90 days in a row 100 or hotter. Much of it highs over 110. Was 117 every day for weeks. Lots of people realized that their ac units were undersized when you had a hard time keeping it 80* in that stretch with the ac running nearly non stop.

Most systems aren't undersized, but they DO under perform. very few systems actually deliver their rated capacity.
