    As someone who grew up in a sunny place, there’s no way I could manage in 40° weather without AC. It can easily get hotter inside than outside, and at that temperature it can literally be deadly. Heat kills hundreds of thousands every year, and it heat wave related fatalities can rival natural disasters.

    All that is to say, use your dang AC. If you really want to be considerate to your elderly neighbors, check on them to make sure they’re staying cool, as the elder are especially at risk.

      ye, i was crazy sick this week and ohboy i wasnt doing too well, genuinely thought about calling… a type of ambulance at some point… but that time is now over.

      that was two days ago, my sickness is almost gone now and over the next two days temps will sink below 30°.

      im fiiiiine- the elderly ARE running AC so they shouuuld be fine so - ye.

        Cleaning your AC’s condenser (the outdoor part) can often make it way quieter. mine gets all clogged with fluffy stuff from the trees; after cleaning it, it went from absolutely deafening to… just loud (being an old AC unit in a stupid location).

      In a well insulated house usually not. You might need to keep windows dark. But especially attic rooms can be problematic afaik

      I don’t own an AC, but here it’s pretty much never >30º for two weeks in a row and not more then two nights in a row not getting colder than 25º
